Good morning BT.  I got a good look this morning at where I am and where I could be in my training (if I hadn't done about 10 virtual races in about 10 weeks). 

The training plan called for 6 x 3-minute progressive VO2Max intervals.  They were 110% FTP, 120% FTP, 130% FTP, 130% FTP, 120% FTP, 110 FTP.  The ideal of this work out is to make each interval harder so that you can see how much you can sustain for the repeatable 3-minute intervals.

I did this same work out a year ago when I was just coming into my peak and was about to sustain about 125% FTP.

I should be just coming into my peak now since my first scheduled race of the year would have been last Saturday and my A race would be in 6 weeks.  I, however, hit my peak two months a am now is a valley (due to all those V-races).  So today I was only able to sustain 110%.  So I am down 15% from where I could be right now. 

My FTP was up 10% when I last tested in my peak two months ago, so I am still up 5% from last year but could by up another 15% if I were just starting to peak instead of past my peak.  

Have a Great Day. 

Oh...and it got really hot and muggy in Oklahoma over the last week.
