Hi everyone
Steven and I did a progress test on a few people on Tuesday night at the shop as part of our turbo sessions(Ronan mentioned it on another thread). The test was planned by Padraig Marrey and will be repeated every month to give people an idea of progress/fitness improvements. A few off us decided this would help motivate ourselves during the winter.
We will be doing more tests on Friday night from 7pm if anyone is interested. If you are not a regular to the turbo sessions give a call or email to say you are coming.
Just so you know the test involves pedalling on a turbo hard for four minutes. There are lots of scientific reasons for this but call Padraig if you want to know. After the four minutes will will have an average watts output to compare with future tests.
We are not pretending to be coaches but following the protocol set by Padraig we should be able to repeat the test in a controlled way to get good information over the winter and race season.
