I have been working indoors on a trainer using Zwift workouts for two weeks. I am getting really strong in my riding, comparatively speaking.
Two weeks ago I got a PM a KK Road Machine and TrainerRoad. My FTP test gave me 175. I was happy. Doing the IM base for the past two weeks, the workouts are tough, but I feel awesome after finishing them.
Anyway, my HIM bike split at IM Gulf Coast was 2:51. I couldn't believe it. But, I want to get faster.
At 41 years old, 137 pounds, how hard and long will it take to get my FTP up to 220ish? I want to be able to maintain a 24mph pace on a flat course.
Note, I have only been "training" on the bike for maybe 10 weeks. My strength is running. If I could get my bike in check, I could be competitive in local sprints and oly's.
