Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Oh and the hip ok thanks chaps. Still can't sleep on my left side but don't need painkillers anymore and can train fine. Just got a nice big pool of blood on the hip. Keep trying to post the rest of my write ups but the forum isn't letting me. | ||

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | Boar said:steve, after looking at the FTP numbers, some dudes on trainer road have GREAT scores, anyhoo ... how high can you go FTP wise ? My last test on the turbo was 256. I guess I might do slightly more outside if I had anywhere to do it as my NP at Wimbleball was 241 over 3hr 15. Not all FTP on Trainerroad will be accurate. It depends on whether they have an accurate and consistent power curve for our turbo if you use virtual power. I believe on some like the Kurt Kinetic it is supposed to be within about 5% which is nearly as accurate as many power meters which are around 2-3%. With my turbo they only had a beta power curve and it was miles out. After my first FTP test I was considering turning pro as my FTP was as good as many riders in the peloton | ||

Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25571 posts Administrator | Nice one ! I'm enjoying the power meter training and I am incorporating the rowers power meter to gauge my progress, however ultimately I will have to test myself against my best out on the road , which is probably 1:06 for the 40k bike leg at the British triathlon champs ( 36 kph average) Having 1 extra small child in the family isn't helping matters though ! Ps your a beast | ||
