October Training

My time of, relative, rest is over and I've started structured training again. Broadly plan is to repeat 2008 in terms of training effort (TSS) but to make a couple of key changes
- Leave FTP at 310W, 30W higher than 2008. So same effort actually means more effort *
- Do more intense work sooner, especially sweetspot.

So far on plan on both counts as above pictures show:

On the PMC - Blue CTL has started to move up, at roughly same gradient as it did last year (though from slightly higher base and a month earlier)

Graphs comparing time by zone 2008 v 2009 show more absolute time spent this October vs last in every zone. November will be even more clear cut as November last year was very easy.

Pies show relative time decreased in Endurance/Tempo and Anaerobic and increased in Sweetspot/Threshold/V02Max.

* In theory my FTP has declined to around 290W now. See other post re FTP test.
