Hopefully the trend continues!<\/p>\n<p>This morning I was back on the CompuTrainer for the Thursday morning Tempo ride. I was supposed to hold an average of 186 watts for the first 15 minutes and then 224 for the next 45 minutes. I warmed up the trainer like I normally do and calibrated. Started the ride and was averaging about 190 for the first 5 or 6 minutes and felt good. So I picked up the pace a little and was sitting at 202 average watts for the first 15 minutes. Usually they have you reset and do the next 45 minutes, but I just keep going and pick up the effort. The next 45 minutes are supposed to be at an average of 224 watts. I finished the hour long ride at just under that, 223 watts. The immediate wattage reading flunctuates quite a bit, probably because my pedal stroke is not very smooth, but I felt like I could keep it between 230-240 without having to kill myself.<\/p>\n<p>Weight: 166.4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking back over the last few weeks and months of training I am beginning to see a slow but steady increase in the wattage I&#8217;m able to hold, especially for longer periods of time.
