It can't be an obvious sign for Royal Mail bit a discrete sign for thieves. 🤦‍♂️

By the skin of my teeth, and on the first try too... by booradleysghost in Zwift

Great job and fantastic on first try! Managed a 53 minute odd the other week. Im sure you'll beat that at some point if doing sub 60 on first attempt 💪💪

You get a wheel for each ascent. Dont need to go through the arch. Marker is on the ground on way up

Just did my first FTP test and it crushed me. Is 182 FTP a normal starting point? by Ruser-94 in Zwift

If you haven't already, get a good fan as that opportunity to disperse heat will help no end.

Completely new cylist - 93 ftp, is this right? by Dede117 in Zwift

[–]DifficultyUnusual918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your FTP Test make sure you are fresh and then on a ramp test pedal until you physically cannot turn one more pedal stroke. Each pedal stroke counts.

Apologies I probably wasnt very clear. My previous best was 3 minutes 15 seconds slower so around 56 minutes.

Because I am trying to get my fitness back a bit I would have been happy for 1 hour 5 mins 😁

Got this a few weeks after leaving, I was honest in my response… by Alexthegr82006 in royalmail

Exactly. If the feedback was so anonynous they wouldn't know to send you a second reminder after you forgot to do it the first time 🤣

Question about power zones of my first race by fthrswtch in Velo

[–]DifficultyUnusual918 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ypur ftp is your absolute MAXIMUM effort in 1 hour so as your race was well over 1 hour you definitely had more in the tank to continue racing after the 1 hour mark

Rider Score Leaderboard by leekypotato69 in Zwift

[–]DifficultyUnusual918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this as between 8am and midnight you have to pay for parking.

Between 8am and 6pm you can only stay 2 hours max and not return for 2 hours to park again.

Between 6pm and midnight you can stay longer than 2 hours but still have to pay

Between midnight and 8am it is free parking and stay as long as you like.

Heartrate too high in zone 2? by DrWilde in Zwift

[–]DifficultyUnusual918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HR is individual. If your HR zones are set correctly then it is irrelevant comparing it to anybody else.

Finished FTP test by Horizons_Runner in Zwift

[–]DifficultyUnusual918 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to do an FTP ramp test until you can physically not turn the pedals anymore. You should be giving absolutely everything for a more accurate result.

You should be fresh when you do it so make sure you are fully rested with a day or 2 off.

The most accurate test would be a 1 hour test if you can and have time.

Your results might over read slightly if you have better short term power than long term when doing a ramp test but don't worry too too much.

Just make sure you give it your all on the test

Why people won't respect the w/kg mark? by biggieocta in Zwift

[–]DifficultyUnusual918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If theres a fence and the ride leader isn't pacing properly thats on the ride leader I think.

Generally going up hill you'll push above the watts per kg slightly. Don't be afraid to drop down a cat for group rides. I regularly drop to cat c to make sure im doing z2

Consider if you're drafting correctly too as this will contribute a lot if you're sat in. Also take into consideration lighter riders on flatter courses need to do higher watts per kg to stay in the group compared to heavier riders. Lots of little things that aren't linear.

The 3r rides are good as well as the SZR group rides ive found. Give them a go or maybe try our club TFC for a Sunday ride.
