Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I haven't been able to find anything.
Is it common or normal to suffer a loss of threshold power whilst base training? I'm using the traditional base mid level plan on trainer road. Following the first month my FTP dropped from 307W to 287W. I completed a 20 minute test to approximate this.
Has anyone experienced this before? I was kind of hoping that I would make aerobic improvements and increase my FTP slightly if anything.
