4 week challenge results:
Compliance - 90% 2. Started the challenge at 240 watts for 35 mins. Result- DNF'ed the test as legs gave out after 20 mins at 250 💀 3. 1 min max power - From 452 W to 517 W (+14,4%) Overall: despite it being not by best day on the bike today, I learnt what I could do differently to have a more favourable outcome in the future. The biggest win I took from the challenge was sticking to the plan despite probably the busiest I have been in a long time- which could have easily seen me ride half as much as I did. I told Arne the first time we spoke I'm in it for the long haul to work towards my goal of 5 w/kg as my FTP before I'm 30 and that still remains the plan despite this minor hiccup. Looking for to pick myself up and carry on with Arne and you guys in this awesome community!

Butt cream

Chamois butter. The purple tube. Works just fine.

My current situation: I've been making my own gels at home for some time now(for around 8 months). I aim for 100g of carbs per hour at 65 kilos. 60g malto:40g fructose and a bit of salt. It works since I find it to be the most consistent way of taking in fuel for me. I don't eat anything else on the bike on my rides/races (unless I stop for coffee or something). But by hour 4 I'm kinda forcing gels into me and it does not feel like I'm able to absorb all the carbs like the hours before. Some days are better than others, but there is a consistent decline in how I absorb these gels. The same is reflected in my power output as the legs start to feel quite dull by hour 4 even during a zone 2 ride. My desired situation: turn my gut into a gel disposal machine Question: how can I stop this dip in energy absorbortion? Maybe it's time to introduce caffeine later into the rides/races?

From 242w for 30 mins to 252 in 4 Weeks
Hey all! Im just starting my 4 week challenge and I couldn't be more excited! I just finished a hill climb race a couple of days ago after a training camp in Mallorca and despite some fatigue in the legs, managed an all time best of 242 watts for 30 mins. Could I have paced it a bit better and not have tried to chase wheels early on? Maybe. 👀 But hey I was there to race. My goal is to go back to the same climb 4 weeks from now and hopefully do north of 250 watts for the same amount of time.
