Finished a 1-hour indoor training session today. It was my first day back on the bike. It felt good to start putting my mental issues and the past behind me and focus on the road and challenges ahead. I was a little taken aback that TrainerRoad’s AI has dropped my FTP down to 205—roughly half of what it was 6 months ago. Given my performance in this session, it seems a reasonably accurate estimation. I’ll do a ramp test in 4 weeks to see where I’m at. Consistency is key. My biggest challenge is building new habits, one day at a time.

I’ve been off the bike for six months dealing with some health issues and a heavy stretch mentally. Starting to turn the pedals again and rebuild the fitness I lost, one ride at a time. Logging the work here. #cycling #training #rebuild
