Progress Report...
Did a 1hr FTP on the same bike in the gym today- 195w (my 2 x 20 the other day was 193??)
I am 2kg lighter than when I weighed myself two weeks ago - 91kg
Power to weight is 2.14, up 0.05 in a week
(I know, I know, it;s too early to see if this is a genuine improvement due to many factors but hey, at least it makes me feel optimistic).
Downloaded Training Peaks and have got myself a proper workout plan now too which is awesome!
If you don't mind, I'll keep posting my scores on the doors regularly and any advice on the way through my journey of weight loss and painful legs will be greatfully appreciated.
Bit of background though - I only started excercising properly (i.e. took up cycling because I was 250 pounds of unfit lard) in July 2007 so it's gonna take a while.
My three goals this season -
Finish the Clayton Velo race in the pack
Finish the 102 mile Cheshire Cat cyclosportive in under 7hrs-

Finish a club '10' in the 25 minute range
