Age 33 Bike VO2 307 Bike FTP 251 (could have paced this better, but still happy since I measured 222 at EOS 2 months ago!) Weight 183lbs = 83.2kg W/kg 3.02 Vdot 50 (was 52 at EOS :`( had to test on an 600m OAB course due to Sandy, which sucked)
Pre-EN Dan has set the bar for EN Dan. And EN Dan is getting excited about kicking the other Dan's ass.
.. I'm pretty sure my FTP is unfairly depressed b/c it's on a Computrainer and it's always a PITA to fiddle with all the variables (drag, calibration, etc.) to get something resembling anything close to outside. Hell, I barely know how to turn the thing on. I'll try to test again on a regular trainer to compare. Please don't kick me off the team just yet.
Of course, there's always a good chance I'm just slow.
I was in France on travel until last night, so did the 5k test on a hotel dreadmill and didn't get to the bike test until today:
Age: 41
Weight: 69 kg, 152 lbs
20 Minute Normalized Power: 270*0.95 = 256 for FTP
W/kg: 3.7
Run vDOT: 44 (22:06 for 5km)
Bike LHTR: 166 bpm, max 183
Run LTHR: 176 bpm, max 186
----------------------------------
Thoughts: First time doing the 20 minute test, rather than the 20 on 2 recovery 20 on, and mentally this is easier. As for the run, there's still some weight to be lost and form to regain following knee surgery in May, so hopefully that's a low bar.
Yay, I've been waiting for the predictions its exciting to see the number as this is my first OS/using tests with training. I hope Ill be able to run that fast!!
@Kar-Ming -- re-open the spreadsheet (link in first post of the thread); predicted vDOT values are in the blue column; predicted FTPs still to come from Coach R
@Kar-Ming Lo - go to the first page in this thread an click on the hyperlink like you did to enter your data. This will bring you to the spreadsheet that you filled out. patrick has loaded his prediction to the far right!
As for me - this will be quite an achievement! Not only do I have a goal - it is based on what Patrick actually thinks I can do! Whoo-hoo!
Working at Starbucks today and saw that my SBUX card balance was at a dangerous 1-digit level so I busted out my predictions. Gets to ridin'!!!
Fine, fine, fine. I'm already feeling my TP runs getting easier, as well as my FTP sessions. Shall I just put money on your card now rather than save the suspense?
I'll warn you though - it'll be much closer to the $5 than the $10000 suggested
