Power training for chicks - help please

yeah thanks for the reminder :frowning:
.

Thanks I am looking forward to using it more and learning what I can achieve… I can chase P and that would be pretty hard work, that should give me some #s.

Off to calibrate!

Took the ergomo for a spin on the trainer a few days ago, and again today up Burnaby Mountain at lunch (30min climb at 6-8% grade) - seems my FTP is around 180W, which is OK - it puts me at the moderate category (2.86W/kg)… now I have some ideas of how to track my training. I’m also lucky that I can do this hill climb weekly as a test if I wish.

Thanks again all for your advice.

You want to improve that power? Ride that hill as an interval once a week, sister! I can guarantee you will be up 20 watts in 2 months or so if you do it weekly. Do 3-5 minute intervals with SHORT rest 1-2 minutes every week. Works like a charm.

After 2 years, my Ergomo is seemingly dying on me. I am getting all sorts of erratic power data, less than 100 watts to spikes over 2000 watts (oh how i wish:). I’m highly bummed.

Yeah, that’s the plan, to try and ride that bad boy once a week. :wink:
