Lol, you'll have to take this up with my coach.

Seriously, by my calculations my FTP should probably be raised by 5-8 watts, but my coach has not increased it. He 100% knows what he is doing and trust me is completely paying attention. I'm not sure what his rationale is, I've had a number of more pressing things to discuss with him in the time we have to converse. But I'm very confident he has good reasons for not increasing my FTP, I speculate it has to do with being a woman, a master, a newby, an endurance rider (which means lots and lots of pedal strokes) and just completing a series of difficult climbing rides (which meant generating a lot of pedal force). Whatever, I'm not concerned, I'm making rapid gains and already need new cycling friends about every 8 weeks.
