LBP test overlap comparison (6 weeks period)

[Robh]

Andrew Ellis's recent LBP test over the last 6 weeks one thing to note training makes you worse recovery makes you better.

Test 1 - 13/01/09
LBP HR - 150bpm
LBP watts - 211
Body weight - 74.2kg
LBP w/kg ratio - 2.85

Notes :
Had completed a 90 mile reliability ride on the Sunday, gone harder than Andrew liked. Only 2 days rest before test. Probably not fully recovered from Sundays ride.


Test 2 - 02/03/09
LBP HR - 155rpm
LBP watts - 248
Body weight - 71.1
LBP w/kg ratio - 3.49

Notes :
On a recovery week, 3 days off bike before test. Resting HR much lower this time (45bpm was 52bpm).

Nice improvement.

Must be because you have been coming out with us recently

Yep, i'm pretty pleased with the numbers.. I think it's definitely a combination of being well rested plus the effects of the previous 5 weeks training, which was my final base period (so lots of steady riding plus the introduction of a couple of hard rides).

Still, we'll see how it all translates this coming Sunday

Paul,

Andy's top end was fatigued on 13th Jan that's why the points have dropped below the line. With a MAX HR of 189 I expected him to be around 175-180HR @ PE of 8 but he could only get up to 169HR/280W, this weeks test 176HR/320W.

After the first test I mentioned to Andy I felt his performance line was down due to him being not fully recovered from the 90 mile reliability ride 2 days previously.
