My First FTP Test with TrainerRoad: How much power can I actually hold?

[@ryanpalo]

Nice work. I love these FTP test videos. Thanks for sharing. Good luck on your jouney to 5w/kg.

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's going to be a tough journey there, just gotta get stuck in it.

Nice work. Been in TrainerRoad for a couple years now. Gone from 156 to 270 so far. Great stuff!

Appreciate you checking in, that's a significant rise in power, hoping I get to see a similar ratio of gains!

Howdy! Fellow Texan here, I am interested in documenting my journey back into cycling as well! 390W is pretty ambitious, have you reached similar heights before? Maybe I am just lack perspective as a heavier rider with a current FTP of 171 😢

Howdy Howdy, thanks for watching! I haven't been there before, but have been much closer than I am now. At my fittest I was 4.5 W/KG at 72ish KG, so 325 W FTP or so. This was after about 3 months using Trainerroad over winter, which I abandoned once Covid hit and the season was cancelled. This is the first time since then that I am giving structured training another whack.
