Pardon me while I go die. Swear that trainer is harder than riding in real life.

Ride today was 51˚ overcast, damp, misty, rainy, no wind... so perfect conditions. 😜
I did have to grab 2 plastic bags at my food stop and stuff them in my shoes to warm up my feet a little.

My fitness peaked last June and then work stress set in come mid September and I haven been on a slow decline. It was time for an FTP retest and a rude awakening. The good news is, there's lots of room to improve.

@ashleycarole86 Good for you for doing the FTP! I am slightly terrified of the FTP test. I probably haven't done one in 18 months. I probably should.

Definitely made some progress in February. Proud of myself, especially since its a shorter month. Figuring its about 540 miles to be on track at the end of March! I feel like I can do that and leave room for my absence during vacation in April!
Cheers and good riding to everyone this week! Hope those of you outdoors have nice weather!2 -
FTP tests are grand. That said, I am not looking forward to my FTP test at the end of the Zwift training program I'm doing, because elevated FTPs threaten my Zwift race category, and I'm struggling enough as it is lol (don't race seriously, but I do like to be somewhere around the middle of the pack just for comfort's sake)

It was definitely nice to have the new zones for my ride today.
The FTP is always a "fun" day LOL. But it's good to be training in the right spot...3 -

25/02 5.26 miles playing with Zwift.
Finally got it connected the way I want it (to my PC screen not iphone)but the speed showing on Zwift is much less than on my bike computer so my tyre setting aren't right - more playing to be done!

Another ride on the Peloton yesterday. Should be officially on pace for the challenge with a ride today. Going to try and have another strong month to make up for upcoming vacations.

@Rich_SC
So true
From my first FTP to my best I'd dropped 30 pounds which definitely helped my power to weight ratio!
I'm back to the same weight I was at pretty much which isn't helping the state of things. Gotta shed this extra!2 -

Late as heck, but got the daily 10 in!!
Will be doing a super slow and easy 10 on Saturday, I think... we're going to a theatre show on the other side of the state that day, and whether or not we'll make it back with adequate time for me to hop on the bike is iffy. Super slow and easy would be if the parrot can sleep through gentle pedaling in the dark without a fan (aka: trying not to die on the trainer by keeping the heartrate to an absolute minimum). If I can't get it done, I'll just do makeup miles on the following Monday.

Zwift training plan workout (and hence daily 10) done. Ugh. HIIT sessions on the bike can be especially draining.
