Weight: 84kgs
FTP: 236 - 2.8w/kg
5 min: 251 2.9w/kg
5 sec: 1340 15.9w/kg
Mainly working on the last one, it's taken the biggest hit over the last 2 years. Used to be close to the magic 20w/kgs
Wait so you are the most dogmatic poster about threshold work and base training, yet have the lowest FTP and 5 minute in the entire thread? L-O-L
You know what they say about mechanics and their cars; quite possibly the same applies here
Out of curiosity- how many of these numbers that are posted are from a proper profile test, or are they just the highest individual numbers atttained?

I know mine are from a test unless noted.
The catch that I said is that unless there is some notable physio training or actual successful elite level clients. So unless those exist its super amusing.

I'm just a little curious, how much did everyone improve their profiles this year?
mine:
5s: 17%
1min: 3%
5 min: 14%
20 min: 12%
Granted it was truly my first year doing serious winter training. I'm quite happy with my results this year. My goal for this next year is to improve my 20 min power by 15%.

cool that you think it's cool! we have a few forthcoming ideas to improve the slice and dice capabilities on that page, for the meantime we've just added some watts/kilo & watts/m^2 contours to help read the power-weight & power-cda plots.
