Loss of Fitness Confirmed

I was expecting this result from my 2nd FTP test in more than a year. A crammed season followed by injuries and mental fatigue left me with a significant loss of fitness. Anyway, I did The Sufferfest Rubber Glove to assess my FTP (Functional Threshold Power) and 246W was the final answer. I used to train all summer with a 270W FTP. A huge drop!

So... next step is to work my way up the ladder with TrainerRoad Sweet Spot Base - Low Volume I training program. It consists of a 6 weeks foundation training plan.


My way back to the top starts with Mount Field tomorrow night if I feel fine. Fill the Follow by email  field on the right sidebar to find how much fitness I can recover in 6 weeks. Send me your comments/questions on triathlon @HUGUEStri on twitter (right sidebar).
