120% of FTP

Hi guys, I am weak in math. If my FTP is 179 then is 120% going to be 215? Please say no

  • Your math is correct. Time to suck it up and get it done.

  • I think leaving the 120% intervals in the plan AFTER the FTP bump from the Week 14 test is the cruellest thing in the whole OS.
  • Just think how much this will help your bike motor..... it's like shoveling speed into your body!

    Breada, your math skils and your legs are gettting stronger - ENJOY!



     

  • @Brenda, what kind of educational system do you guys have up there in Canadaland?
  • Thanks everyone, except for Tucker. I will try my best to `suck it up`as Matt Sullivan said, this coming Saturday.

    Hope my legs do not fall off, as I have a 28km run on Sunday.   I am however carbing up by way off a sushi fest on Saturday afternoon with one of my old clients who is heading to Tuscon for some training with Cliff English and friends. That should help the run on Sunday right?



    Kevin - I so agree. I seriously thought that it was just 6 weeks of that and then when I saw that we still are doing it x1 a week, I weeped.



    The other Matt - thank you for your kind words.



    Steve buddy - you are so right. Nice way of looking at it.

  • Oh come on! Here I will help you out

    FTP = 179
    120% = 1.2 x 179 = 215
    65% = 0.65 x 179 = 116
    80-85% = (0.80-0.85) x 179 = 143-152
    95% = 0.95 x 179 = 170

    Good luck on Saturday, I know I am not looking forward to pushing my watts but will suck it up as Matt says.
  • @B you are mucho strong so you will rock it! I'm not looking forward to my 16 miler either if it is any consolation...

  • Brenda,

    Now you know Coach Rich is just enjoying this thread over a cup of coffee.  Yes it sucks, enjoy the new FTP.
