Cycle Chatter Targets 2019

[Crook Town AFC]

My final target is 70kg (i'm 5ft 8in tall) so I'd be pleased with that Maybe if I ever get to 70kg though I'll want to get lower ... who knows? As they say though ... baby steps

You're roughly the same height as me then. It took me about 5 years to get down to 70kg but I don't really want to go any lighter, I just want to try to maintain it.

Fingers crossed I'll be somewhere near that weight by the end of the year too

1: ride about 10000km (same as 2018)
2: lift up my ftp 250 before summer (now 240)
3: join some races in Zwift
4: participate sportives in a summer
5: lose some weight (under80kg) without losing my outstanding power output
6: climb Alpe du Zwift few times before summer

That’s on my radar for 2 years time. Good luck with the training and qualifying rides.

You will have to wait till 2023. It is only every four years.

I thought every 2y-oh well even longer to prepare

You may have 2 working legs by then ....

Weight creeping into the 81.x kg bracket so I'm ahead of schedule on that target. Once I'm consistently below 82kg I'll update in Zwift, Strava etc.

On a race last night I averaged 246 watts over 59 minutes, so very close to my target of 250 watts for an hour.

My best hour power last year was 248w - so maybe I should have had the same 250W target as you

Progress report..

Watts slowly coming back up... weight not much progress

Official weigh in day : 81.5 kg This was a 'wet' weight too (i.e. not just sweat 1 kg cycling ) I'm almost tempted to do an hour on the bike just so that I can see 80.x on the scales Shame it's a rest day today, but at least it feels like I will be 80 kg by the end of the month

I've done the same today, I weighed myself after the recovery drink, I may have been under 125 if I'd done it before. 125.8 lowest I've been for a while. Under 20st .

Brothers are both back on the bikes properly now in prep for the ToC.

Well done TB

Tell your bro's they'll be up against a bloke on a single speed, so they need to get the training in if they don't won't to see me ride off into the distance
