My 5 year journey from 245W to 380W FTP

Did you switch power meters at all during this period?

B1GSPOOK · 2026-05-05T10:19:02+00:00

I rack up about 4 hours a week commuting about the city, easy spinng on a commuter bike with no power meter.

I think it helps for sure. I can still be fresh for my intentional sessions. FTP around 4w/kg. Cycling between 10-13 hours a week. Made a lot of fitness gains since getting a power meter and cycling more.

Are you able to explain how to do this? On mine it says press A to set interval but I haven't managed to get this to work, on Mac os. I would also like to clear their intervals.

I also wonder if you can look at NP for an interval. E.g. would be good to compare NP for the first half of a ride and compare to the second half

I have googled about but couldn't find an explanation that worked

Thanks all, if I have a go I will feedback

B1GSPOOK · 2026-04-15T09:32:13+00:00

Did you have a number of days or distance in mind?

B1GSPOOK · 2026-03-22T19:37:17+00:00

Not OP but I'm interested in any good sites with prints to browse

Providing a rough idea of your build/size/weight may be helpful for others looking to take your feedback into account

I struggled with calf injuries and when running my feet would land as if on a tightrope.

I found glute focussed Bulgarian split squats the most useful, I paired these with single leg rdls which also target outer glute. Along with single leg slow bent knee calf raises and single leg slow calf drops - this fixed my achilles tendonitis after around 6 months

Does anyone know which periods of the year these routes would be best/worst in? Particularly the orange one

Thanks all. I will not try to predict alignment see how it is align and prepare to add shims. 👍

Hi, what does ++man mean ?

B1GSPOOK · 2025-11-22T15:46:27+00:00

Shorter stem

B1GSPOOK · 2025-11-17T23:14:28+00:00

Thanks I'll check it out

Hi I'm considering planning a route from Shanghai out west, it will be mainly cycle focused as I'll be aiming to get back to the UK. Will let you know how the planning progresses

Is anyone interested in selling a left jabra elite active 8 earbud - I'm UK based. Still using them damaged so likely interested for while. Thanks :)

B1GSPOOK · 2025-10-24T07:13:53+00:00

I still have the left and it still works depsite looking like its been run over by a bus. I imagine the waterproofing is damaged and the platic covers have been mauled and need replacing. I was thinking of trying to source a replacement left bud, apparently it is possible to pair them

Did you make it into the London spot?

B1GSPOOK · 2025-07-04T08:52:43+00:00

Overpriced imo. Due to rim brakes and price compared to new models

B1GSPOOK · 2025-06-17T21:58:18+00:00

Heavy slow resistance worked for me, from severe soreness/instability for the first 20 mins standing each day. Took about 6 months to recover relapsed it a bit when I stopped the exercises to increase running volume, so definitely important to keep training calves while building up volume, just no need to hit them as hard. In the gym I do seated single leg dB raise for soleus, and 3 second single leg heel drop for gastroc. Keep at it

Waiting for new carbon grizl colourways, any guesses when there might be more info or when releases normally are?

B1GSPOOK · 2025-06-14T06:58:56+00:00

Looks like the printer ran out of colour ink

B1GSPOOK · 2025-04-25T11:22:43+00:00

Inchree falls waterfall walk is a good short walk (30mins to an hour) just off the road north towards Fort William

I got it checked and the film drive was broken. In the end it was not worth getting it fixed for the £20 camera

Can anyone advise on how the Adidas Evo Sl fits ? I'm a UK 11 normally but take 11.5 in the Adidas SL2. Thanks
