So, 2016 is over and it's time to count up the hours of training and see how it's gone. It's ended up being a record year for mileage overall. Around half the hours have been done on my Wattbike, mostly doing prescribed sessions from retained coach Propulse.
Key gain this year has been in heart fitness and recovery. Overall average speed has increased but average heart rate has decreased to achieve that. Towards the end of the year I did a power test, results shown below which have created a benchmark to improve on in 2017.
Average Heart Rate - 130bpm
Max Heart Rate - 188bpm (my actual max).
Continuous Power - 275W
12 Minute Power - 312W
Total Hours in Saddle: 452 Hours
