Got back from the US this morning. I’ve not really done much cardio activity for the last 10 days so figured a good way to stay awake was a quick FTP test! Average power for the 20 minutes was 304W, the first time I’ve been over 300W for 20 minutes. That translates into an FTP of 289W, up from my previous test at 274W.

Time to start training for the Ride100
It’s time to start training again! Last year the Ride100 was really the Ride86 due to Hurricane Bertha arriving on the morning of the ride bringing biblical weather (rain and winds) and resulting in the loop down to Leith Hill and back being removed as well as Box Hill being bypassed.
With 14 weeks to go until the event, I will start with the Sufferfest 10 week intermediate training plan. Last year I used the Sufferfest Novice 10 week training plan.
Based on an FTP test a couple of weeks ago, my starting FTP is 257. I’m hoping to get that up to around 285 by the time I start the Ride100.
