My FTP is around 290-315w depending on time of season and my level of training. Just moved back to XERT having used it back in early 2016 however I’m back to same issue just with more data.
My Threshold Power and 3hr Power appear to be very high. Currently these are set to:
Threshold Power 368w
3+ Hour Power 318w
My Training Status & Form is always Recreational and Very Tired with most of my rides are tagged as 1. Recovery or 1.5 Easy with a small Moderate few. I wish my training was this easy.
Most of this seems to stem from 10 Mile TT rides and then very short blast on Hill Climbs during some easier rides. In these instants my MPA drops but I’m able to exceed remaining MPA (Presume this is a breakthrough), However this seems to set my Threshold Power higher on some occasions albeit this isn’t a sustain effort this is only a short hill climb section.
It is probably a gap in knowledge on my part but does this suggest I have a higher MPA than I’ve set somewhere or higher HIE?
So basically I’m struggling with this. I’ve tried seeding my first ride but I can se e each and every time I do a decent hill I get a breakthrough and my threshold is changing for very little sustained work.
Appreciate any ideas on what I may be doing wrong or what I’m missing in terms of my understanding?
Would like to get to a point where my 3+ and Threshold is something I could actually see me achieving.
Thanks
