FTP – Sticking my head above the parapet

Ok, so in the same way that Dave Atkinson declaring what he’s doing training-wise will spur him on because it’s public knowledge, I thought I’d tell you all where I’m at, so that I feel the urge to improve and report back as such.

20 minute test at an average of 209 watts gives an Functional Threshold Power of 198.5, and given my current weight of 70.5kg, equals 2.8 watts per kg.

I felt light-headed and a bit sick afterwards. Yes, I know it’s not a great power output, but whatever.

For anyone interested, I used the Sufferfest Rubber Glove video and a wattbike. A pleasant experience it is not. :&

With a 12-week window, at least I can get christmas out of the way before I test again in Jan!
