Gimpycalfee, interested in hearing more of your story to overcome your "handicap(?)". Care to share? Would be a source of inspiration and motivation for me, I'm sure...

TZ, I had a malignant spinal cord tumor in my cervical spinal cord resected in 1994. Left me with weakness and numbness on my left side with a lot of spasticity in my left leg. After that I couldn't run (I walk with a limp as a I have a foot drop). About 7 years ago a friend got me into cycling. It has been a great blessing ever since.

That's incredible! Definitely inspirational! Congrats on your success thus far and may it continue...and here I am wimping out on L5 intervals😄 .

Nothing close to your ordeal, but I as well got into cycling after health issues. With the enjoyment I now get (L5 notwithstanding) I'll be on the bike until I'm put in the ground...

Power has crept up a little the past month. All Tempo and L4 on the trainer. Hard, steady work. Decent results. Yesterday's team ride was my first day outside since the beginning of January. CTL is at 68 and rising steadily at about 5 to 6 pts./wk.

excellent!!! +7W :eek:

I decided to listen to my body (and flu buggies) and take the evening off ... but tomorrow I'm boldly targetting 410W x 40-min (or maybe not :p )

only a small power up 😉 but nevertheless... and as it's coupled with some weight loss (albeit this due to having been sick beginning of week🙁 ) I thought I post my new figures.
Tonight will be my first formal test (for the full hour :eek: ) will see what this reveals 😎

I know it's uncool to reply on your own post :o but still: 1 hour test yesterday on my indoor trainer (up the Stelvio on my Tacx DVD) proved my new FTP. And as I climbed 1 up in the list I needed to do this!😄
The reason to post 295W instead of the 294W according to the attached file (to not become a Tyson 😉 ) is that I know I could have done that bit more as I wasn't completely worn at the end and due to the fact that I wasn't really that rested (did some weights in the gym the day before) and as I only notch it up/down in 5W steps:p .

Aye good stuff folks. Progress is contagious (at least I hope it is 🙂). Speaking of contagious (!!) ... got hit with a nasty bug here over two weeks ago and have been struggling a bit since then. Still managed to get in around seven hrs/wk on the CT - mostly tempo at best - but hey it could be worse. Yin and yang and all that deep philosophical stuff ... been sick but the legs feel as fresh as daisies -- just need the aerobic system to drive 'em now :o

(Yes, I'm gonna scold you now)

Don't go diggin' yourself a hole, Rick! You know better than anyone you won't lose all that much fitness (if any) by takin' care of yourself and getting rid of that bug once and for all...

p.s. eat a little bit extra for me while you're takin' care of yourself😄

Aye good stuff folks. Progress is contagious (at least I hope it is 🙂). Speaking of contagious (!!) ... got hit with a nasty bug here over two weeks ago and have been struggling a bit since then. Still managed to get in around seven hrs/wk on the CT - mostly tempo at best - but hey it could be worse. Yin and yang and all that deep philosophical stuff ... been sick but the legs feel as fresh as daisies -- just need the aerobic system to drive 'em now :o

I've just got over the same thing twice... After the first two weeks I felt better, stayed off the bike an extra week partly to be safe and partly because of other things that cropped up and the morning after the first easy ride I was back to hacking up green pudding and had a slight fever again... That was about 2 1/2 weeks ago or there abouts.

I'll have to check my training log but I'm wondering if I've actually ridden for more than 10 hours this year...

Cat. 4, racing age 45, in CO; TT'er, not a climber (obviously)!

2nd year racing, about 2/3 of the way through my base for the season (just now starting intervals). A-Race in early June (State TT), with a 7-week TT series coming up starting in April.

263w at 78.5 kg = 3.35w/kg 🙁

Same power, lower body mass.
Recent racing supports current FTP estimate (~30-min points race NP of 289W). Did also have a ~40-min TT at ~ 265W however mechanical problems with leg caused a drop in power over 2nd half of TT. Also intervals on ergo bike support this FTP level.
