Now I'm down to 87, on purpose. FTP is down about 20w and I'm certainly breaking no records, but I needed to let it come down so I can build back up again for the Fort Collins USGP. Riding a super high LTS is great for a while, but if you don't let it come down you can't build again.
Your LTS won't be accurate until you've been tracking it for 42 days, by the way.
Thanks ze. I have had the pm for about a month and I backlogged a bunch of ride before that, so is it safe to assume that the values are at least a close approximation?
I'm at 68 LTS right now and I feel completely burnt out, that seems really low though. And I just got to the part of the Training Bible where Friel talks about having a positive SB going into an A race. My SB is -30. Even after my rest week a few weeks ago it only got up to -10.
The reason I'm asking this is because my last A race of the season is this coming Saturday and I've been feeling really fatigued and I want to try and go into this race with somewhat decent form.
