I decided to get a VIRB camera to use on the bike to capture what’s going on. I decided on the VIRB because it integrates pretty well with the Edge 1000 I already have.
I chose the VIRB Basic version since I already have a lot of the data captured by the Edge 1000. Once I’ve got use to it, I’ll upload some videos and add links to them.
This is the first light week after the first 3 week period. Today’s session was a 30 minute “time trial” on the turbo trainer – The Long Scream Sufferfest video. Training Peaks tells me that my 20 minute best average power during the session was 277 Watts – the last 20 minutes not surprisingly. Based on that, my FTP is now up to 263 Watts.
The calculation for FTP is 95% of the best average 20 minute power.
