well it's that time of year when everybody seems to be ill, you try and do your best to avoid it but you still get it! i was just starting to feel good again after a week of training, then boom! i'm ill again!
two weeks ago i started training, after a few weeks of building it back up, it started with a FTP power test to determine where i was at, these test are horrible and i'm very glad when i'm done.
here is a link to my test, Power Test Results
20 minute test i averaged 281 watts, which i was happy with weighing in a 55kg so hopefully i should get it to around 300 watts just before the start of the season.
hopefully i'll be recovered before to long so i can resume training.

Update
it's been a long time since i've updated my site and plenty has changed since my last post, i'm now back training after having 5 weeks of due to a nasty chest infection which needed two course of antibiotics to shift it!
i didn't realize how disheartening it was not to be fit, for every pedal stroke to be a struggle, seeing my HR so high yet my power so low, well what could i expect really after having such a lengthy time if my bike, well the training is slowly getting there my new coach Adrian Timmis is fantastic, and soon a shall see my power figures rise nicely and hopefully have some good gains on my FTP% to get me ready for the seasons ahead, also having a year full time to race a train to set me up as an U23/Elite Rider which will be a hard year to get to grips with the speed and length increase but i'm very looking forward to it!
i have some fantastic people and a new team for next year whom all will be supporting me, i eagerly await the start of the season, i will do my best to keep this updated!
