FTP Zwift Ramp Test: How much Will I Suffer?
Переглядів 6392 місяці тому
In this video, I take on the dreaded FTP Ramp Test on Zwift after months off the bike! After a long break from cycling, I’m finally back in the saddle and curious (and nervous) to see how much my fitness has dropped. Will it be a total disaster or not as bad as I think? Join me as I talk through my thoughts, feelings, and strategy before the test, then share my real-time reactions as the intens...
Nice, keep up the good work. Would love to see a stream. Pls post an update when you do. :)
Thanks for the kind words!!! It's looking like the streaming will be 6am-8.30am UK times so might be abit early for you if you're from Europe? I'm going to try and stream Monday to Friday then as I had a very poor week this week due to work and recovering from the flu bug I had.
Good luck!
Thank you 👍👍
As you're going after the ones that are already in game, expect a few more to be added in November. I'm finding that the newer "Event Only" badges are somewhat harder to get because a route like Richmond Loop Around or Shisha Shakedown might only get used for an event twice in a month, and not necessarily at a convenient time for your time zone. I've got three more to get this weekend from the newly added ones and then I'll have them all once again (at least for a few weeks).
Yeah I've seen there's going to be an expansion as part of the Tour of Watopia so I'm guessing a few routes will be released as part of that expansion, totally crossing my fingers they don't create a route to beat the PRL full 🤣🤣. The routes I plan on completing is the 159 ones that you earn a route badge for which aren't event only, plus the ones that get released as part of the expansion. That's some effort 👍 how did you find the PRL full?
Can't wait to see you go trough the Ubern Pretzel and th PRL Full. Those will take you the better part of the day and require you to lay in bed the nex day in a state of mental exhaustion to the point you will dread the idea to sit your but on the saddle.
I can wait for them routes 🤣 they are going to be torture but I suppose it's called a challenge for a reason isn't it
Go for it, man! You can do it!
Thank you 👍👍
Attaboy!
Not looking forward to some of the longer routes 🤣
If you want a green jersey, I would argue that you need to start your accellerations earlier. You were still accellerating after you started the sprint segment. At the start of the segment you should already be at your to velocity. Good luck with the hunt.
Thanks for the advice and after reading, it totally makes sense. Ill have to try again when I'm fitter and can hold my power longer etc ...
Easily sub 13 mins in a few weeks, top effort.
I'm going to try .... Big announcement in my next video that comes out Sunday 👍 abit of a challenge I've set myself which will last until New year.
Nice work, mate. Decent FTP for consistently inconsistent 😜 I did The Grade FTP test a month ago, stayed seated entire time and it hurts BIG time so much so I’m too afraid to do it again 😂
Thanks for the comment and compliments..... Are you supposed to stay seated on it? I can't work out weather you are or aren't to get an accurate FTP.. your doing better than me, I don't think I'll be able to get up there staying seated at the moment 🤣
@@WattCyclist I’ve no qualifications on the matter but my understanding is that any FTP test should be done seated 😃
Well it'll be a while until I'll be able to get up there seated haha I bet that was torture?
@@WattCyclist agony, mate… but that’s the nature of any FTP test. My daughter said the veins were popping out my head, she thought I was going to pass out, so did I to be honest 😝 I’m currently base training for what will be my biggest challenge to date on the bike in March next year, the “real” training block starts in November so I’ll be [reluctantly] repeating the test to get my training zones. Tip for consistency, find an event you like the look of and commit to it, nothing too crazy to start but something that will challenge you enough that you’ll need to discipline to train for.
FTP tests are horrible that's why I always do the ramp test instead of the full ones 🤣 What is it your doing in March? My plan is to try to do as many of the routes at part of races or group rides so then there's people I can draft off and also it'll be faster pace.
Nicely done great effort and right there with your PR. Well done!
Thank you!!! Hopefully beat it soon 🤞
Good man. Just wanted to add a comment here to say, keep it up! My plan is to get into indoor training this winter for the first time, so it's good for me to see ordinary Joes working on getting their fitness up.
Thanks for taking your time to comment 👍. Well I'm going to be uploading a lot more videos in the coming months. Hopefully you enjoy watching them and feel free to let me know anything you think I can do to improve.
Nice one, keep going mate!
Thanks for the kind words 🙏 anything you would like to see on the channel?
Thats so cool
lol
I flipping love zwift
Same here been out on the tarmac more recently though..... Thinking about recoding one of the rides but I can't imagine me being able to Vlog anything good or interesting 🤣
