I just got back into training, gave up the cigs, set up the p-tap on the tt-bike-the usual stuff that cyclists do in prep for training. I got on the trainer last night and just wanted to get my lt test done, major surprise.
I finished last year pushing about 5.25 w/kg, or 320 watts. Last night, I didn't even get into LTHR and am putting out 5.33 w/kg.
I have been commuting to work and doing low cadence hard gear workouts to build strength, because I was lacking there last year, but would that account for the gain- lack of loss- in power over the winter.
I am confused and hopefully can find a good explanation for it, or maybe I just need to reset my ptap, lol
here's the graph:
