NOS Wk8 Bike and Run Tests

Ok, I haven't done much posting here, but I had to post this.  Just finished my OS Wk8 bike and run tests.  I had to post my results because I am more than happy with the progress.  I'm new to the team and this is my first OS and I can't believe the results. 

 My FTP went up 23 watts on the bike and my Vdot went up 3 points on the run!

 Work really works!

  • Awesome news Bob! Focused work will bring out that speed that you get to use the whole year! Enjoy!
  • Congratulations Bob, that's huge! Work works!
  • Way to go Bob. Enjoy being faster!

  • Just did the SAT bike workout a day early as I have the annual holiday party at the company this evening and it will probably get late so ...

    Again I loaded the wrong workout at my Garmin and had to tweak around a bit to fit "something" similar into to loaded segments.
    Workout from Garmin called out for 2x12'(4') + 6' but the plan called for 2x15'(4')+5' so I just did 2x14'(2')+6' image

    Legs felt stiff and heavy at the beginning but the longer the workout took the better the machine got running image
    Completed the workout after 72' with an IF 0.91 and a NP of 285.
    Haven't had time to extract the Z4 segments but each one was strong around 310W NP image
