This year? I didn't do anything. I barely cycled at all, apart from the occasional social ride or utility ride.
Instead, I did a lot of running, targeting a half marathon that took place last weekend, so in the first couple of weeks of spring.
Looking forward to getting back on the bike, though!
In the winter, I'm doing winter sports. Cycling is awesome (and I can do it even in Dec or Jan here), but if the snow comes, I'm going onto a hike in the snow and or ice skating. That is awesome, is also cardio and is better than sitting on an indoor setup
Agreed. Love a good snow hike. However the past few years have resulted in fewer snowfalls and more cold dreary and icy conditions where I live.
Don't use FTP!
SFTP 👍
True, always enforce encryption.
FTPS is also a valid option.
Zwift definitely helps me. Even if I don't improve, I'm at least maintaining fitness.
They have series of workouts called Build Me Up that are apparently pretty good. A few years ago I was doing the standard FTP Builder set of workouts, which I do think helped, but apparently Build Me Up is better. The workouts scale with your FTP.
Yes, I had success. Key was learning to write my own plan. I learned a lot from books (like for example from Joe Friel) and some internet research.
