shaper Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 When you come back from a training ride which was suppose to be LSD for 3hrs but ended up being a 3hr IF of 0.91 then you know the rest of the wknd's planned training is pretty much screwedOr your FTP is wrong and needs to be increased!
J Wakefield Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 the Hunter book about training with a PM gives the same advice, but specifies that one looks at the second interval as a benchmark, this is due to being fresh when completing the first. So if you've dropped by more than 10% from your second interval might as well call it. No, in some cases not always call it or use the 2nd as your benchmark, Ive had athletes have bad 1st 2 intervals and finish really strong at the end. You can often take a longer recovery period and try again for example. Happened this week with a client who went so deep on interval 1 their 2nd was 13% off, took longer period and finished the session perfectly.
J Wakefield Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Per Edwards' second video re ftp today vs ftp next week vs two weeks ago...I would assume then that you carry on with your workout and hit the best numbers you can for the timeframe, as your ftp could've drifted as per the video. Thanks for sharing on the forum. Much appreciated. Yes that is correct.
Jaco-fiets Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Or your FTP is wrong and needs to be increased! Nope! I do that test every 6 to 8 weeks. This is not a normal IF for me at all. Only see it in races. It was just 1 of those rides where all 3 guys spontaneously made it super hard

Veebee Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Last week was a bit better, TSS: 432IF: 0.65 This week should be good, and then plan to ramp it up from next week properly.
Jakkals. Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 TSS: 184IF: 0.722 Was recovery week, so decided to go up north for the weekend. (maybe some altitude adaption)Knees are still pretty broken to say the least, but I'm working on it to get sorted. Have a good week's training chaps
