Dec OS Gains

I had an OS interrupted.   I had a family emergency and missed 6 weeks of bike workouts starting the end of Dec and 4 weeks of run workouts.    I really just had to roll with the punches.      I am happy to say that my FTP did go up close to 8%.    I assume it took a dip after my 6 week hiatus and really climbed back strong.    My vdot went up by .5 which is not what I wanted but I'll take it.    Coach P gave me some good guidance on how to get back on track and I have.     I'm definitely ready for what this season will bring.   How did everyone else do?

    I  was pleased to add about 9% onto my FTP(258-281) which at my age I wasn't really expecting.  This puts me at all time FTP high even being 54yrs old.  VDOT increased 3 from 47-50.  Still below my best ever but running is just harder when you are older.  May never reach all time best again there but I can always keep trying ;)
