2011 Nov OS Testing

gsadleriii

OK...first time testing in EN/OS.  Here are my results and 2011 OS goals.  I think I left a bit on the table with the bike test.  The run test was a max effort though.  Am I over/under reaching on my OS goals???

Bike				Run
	11/1/2010				11/3/2010
	Avg	Max			SPD	HR
Watts	190.1	299		Mile #1	7:21	155
HR	136	145		Mile #2	7:29	181
MPH	19.9	22.8		Mile #3	7:41	174
RPM	91	105		Mile 0.1	0:46	174
					23:17	165
Wt (lbs)	205
Wt (kg)	93			Avg Pace	7:30
w/kg	2.0	3.2		Vdot	41.84

• Wt: 190-195
• Watts: 210-220
• VDot: 45 (21:49 / 5k)

Sorry...just realized I should have named this thread "2010 Nov OS Testing".  Newbie mistake.  Hopefully moderators can fix/edit

I think you will suprass the wattage goals. Not sure about the running, that would be a pretty nice improvement, certainly doable.

David Ambrose

George - I agree with Chris.  You will blow by that wattage goal of yours by the end of the OS.

I'll second/third the previous posters; you'll learn to execute those FTP tests and ratchet that FTP waaaay up.

Thanks all for your advice/input! I would have thought before joining EN that improving my bike FTP would be more difficult than improving my run. I'm really looking forward to learning from experience here (and realizing the gains in FTP you all are suggesting!!)
