So having had two failed attempts at breaking 20 minutes for 5k it's time to start training a bit longer with Brecca on September 9th and Ironman Barcelona at the end of the month I haven't done a huge amount of long distance stuff. I was loosely following the Trainerroad plan on my turbo trainer. So it's broken down into 8 week blocks and it generally involves doing an FTP test at the start of each block. So with 8 weeks left to go I had to do my FTP test today. Was delighted with the results, I managed to move it from 232 to 273 (which I think is the highest i've ever recorded. So for someone who doesn't know FTP is functional Threshold power. So it's how many watts you can hold steady for exactly 1 hour. The test is actually only 20 minutes you do a couple of warm ups then empty the tank for 5 minutes then 10 minutes recovery and then 20 minutes as hard as you can........you feel weak by the time your done. I was hoping I'd get an improvement but wasn't expecting that much to be honest. I mean don't get me wrong I'm still crap compared to normal athletes, but I'm registering on the scale which is a start sometimes I come up as untrained now at least on the chart i'm coming up as Cat 3. You FTP doesn't have that much of a bearing on how fast you can go it depends on your weight, the actual power i'm putting down isn't too bad but it's the fact that the pros are pushing more power and weight a 1/4 of me. So you get your FTP and divide it by your weight in kilos so for me 273 divided by 90 and you get 3.03 that puts me into CAT 4. and if I manage to get down to 83 kilos which is the plan that gets me to 3.29
Looking forward to really getting stuck into this 8 week block of training.
This is about a real spell caster who did a great thing for me. My name is Kurtis Williams. This testimony is about this great spell caster Doctor Odunga who helped me restore my love life back. Me and my wife had a fight and this fight led to us filing a divorce paper with the court and I had made up my mind. My wife was also at the same time furious about the whole issue and my family was broken into two opposite sides. With advice from a good friend of the family I decided to save my marriage and consult a spell caster to save my marriage. I went online into the internet and searched for a real spell caster’s testimony and after reading the testimony of Doctor Odunga I knew he was the spell caster needed to save my marriage and my family from being divided. It was a twist of fate when my wife came to me one evening and said she had withdrawn the divorce papers and she didn’t want to leave me anymore. She loves me so much. I knew that the spell had worked and my marriage had been saved from jeopardy. This is a real spell caster and I believe there are people who need the help of a spell caster. Why not contact the one and true spell caster to put an end to all your problems and save your love life just like he did save my marriage. Thank you so much doctor for everything you did.
