I’m on Week 9 and I’m enjoying it so far. Week 9 is where they kick in the high power work so today’s session was the toughest I’ve done yet, lots of 15 second intervals at 200% FTP. If you’re finding it too hard just reduce your FTP in your profile. I haven’t been outdoors on a bike this year, my outdoor exercise has been walking the dog so Zwift has really been the only thing keeping me fit and keeping the weight off. Once this is done I’ll try one of the TT training programs, I like having a program to commit to.
Thanks, I'll look forward to that. Well done on sticking with it.
Middle of week 5 here and seem to have found my stride. Ive been able to bump up the workload to 110% for the final set of intervals in the last few sessions.
I think doing another FTP test mid week on week 3 overcooked it for a few days, but the body has recovered now.
My wife is really enjoying it too (if thats the right term) Its a regular topic of conversation in the house. Its cool that the same programme can be set at different intensities and accessible to all comers.
Its the only kind of structured cycling training we have ever done really. I never really got into the pre dawn race training with my team, choosing to ride solo later in the day. It will be interesting to see if Im of more use after this once the road racing kicks off again.
Its been a bit of a mental healer TBH. The cabin fever has been ramping up. We were supposed to have been touring along the Loire about now, and TCR had been on the cards next month. Instead we are locked down on a 20 square mile Island, the humidity is through the roof and I just can't face bashing out endless circles on roads I know too well right now.
