Ramp test yesterday…needless to say its not pleasant.
Mildly disappointed at static FTP, but not surprising as training mojo has been missing for 3 months
Straight into 1hr 30 threshold ride tomorrow…

Waterman today. I knew right after the first set that this is gonna suck. And it did! I’m glad to start ssb2 soon
Freeride
Tour de Zwift - joined 10 minutes late but still good session. Switched half way through to TT bike, racing against double drafters, fun?!
Wright peak -5, done and dusted
Only two workouts left till a rest week
Norman-Clyde -2 this evening.
First proper effort at my new FTP and although the PLs had dropped accordingly, this still felt challenging.
Rated as Hard for AT purposes.
Three Sisters was in my Calendar tonight and I decided to run TR on my phone controlling ERG and have an RGT session reading watts on the laptop. The last two workouts I’ve ran TR on the laptop so I could quickly toggle to resistance if I need to. I was feeling a bit more confident tonight to let the phone/TR/ERG control things. I let my cadence fall a wee bit too much in the 1st block but ground out of the spiral of death. The next two blocks felt more comfortable though
Plan called for Mount Goode -4 this morning. I noticed I had an old Zwift custom workout that was pretty close to it, so I did that. (3x12’ at 95%) Even though these are really doable for me outdoors, I’ve really struggled with threshold workouts on the trainer. Today was the first time I did one in erg mode, and I think it was a big help just focusing on keeping my cadence up.
Woot! I’ve been dreading this workout for a week, it only took an interval or two for me to think “Well this isn’t so bad” and proceeded to crush the workout. Final VO2max workout of Build 1 done!
Nice effort
May I make a suggestion?
Tray Mountain -2 - it was a good workout - tough, HR got pretty high in later parts of the intervals
Thank you! I am not alone

No out side ride for me so I went to the virtual world of RGT. I had a look at TrainNow’s suggestions, they were all for Endurance rides which looked a bit flat and boring. But bearing its suggestion I looked in the database for a more entertaining Endurance ride. That led me to Bays +1. My cadence is a bit variable as I let RGT control the resistance so I had a gradient range of +11% to -11%
