Long story short, I did an FTP test on TrainerRoad and I only realised afterwards my speed/cadence sensor wasn't picking-up the back wheel magnet. HR maintained at 160, cadence 85, no output. Bugger.

FTP of Zero then

Should be able to make some terrific percentage gains on that over the coming weeks.

That's all part of the plan

Here's a rundown of my week in training:

Monday's FTP test was a bit of a disaster in that it didn't produce any useful data but it was a good, solid workout.

Wednesday saw another turbo session, this time just a light 40 minute spin to stay in the game.

Thursday was swim day. By swim, I mean "eewww whats on my face?!" "where's the marker buoy?" Etc. 0.93km in 23:30, so not too bad.

I went for the first decent run of the year this morning at Conkers Parkrun with Mr Burnish and I pacing each other - I held him back and he pulled me well out of my comfort zone. My heart rate averaged an alarming 180 bpm so I clearly need to train more.

I've been using Lifesum extensively to track my food intake and calorie expenditure which should keep my eating under control.
