Hi Amy. Your drive train sounds a little rough. Have you checked your chain lately? Might be getting a little stretched? Could just be the audio recording but maybe check anyway. 😁

Step one: get a new coach.. why would anyone suggest doing a ramp test the day after 100 mile ride? Step 2: learn to understand and respect rest days, jeez Louis girl.. Step 3: fueling is important, get your meals/hydration down pat.. Seriously, if you're gonna ride this insane amount of miles, figure out your food intake, it all about timing..Matt should know this stuff I'm guessing, if not get a dietitian for real, no more messing about girl!😉✌️

Way too hard on yourself, there’s no fucking donkeys girl to keep ya going 😅

You knew you were tired before you started and you know why. But you had a go and that is what you will have to do. Kyle spot on.

Out of the saddle sometimes will help with Max efforts

Look 210 W /60 kg wightt is 3.5 W/kg which is above average for a woman of your age!

Rest days are where the improvements happen 😊

The key to the FTP test is keeping your cadence high.

You’re absolutely amazing. I’ve just come across your Chanel and I’m in wonderment at what you do.

Keep it on the positive rails Amy you just started this training and journey. Bloody hell give yourself some time to get this all rolling. You got this Amy, and you tell those monkey mind thoughts to shove off when they pop in to test you. You got this mate. Enjoy the process and the journey of the riding when the time comes to do this big goal. Go Amy and TTFN

Hey Amy, I am certain you need a better warm up to do your best effort on a test like this. I would do at least a 20 minute warm up, mostly zone 2, with some short ramps up to threshold to activate your lactate clearing. then do 5 minutes of Z2 to recover, then start the test.

U did 100 miles amy ramp tests r mind blowing just breath. U can do it ur strong

That wpk is so good Amy, especially after a long ride the day before. Its not all about numbers but those numbers are crazy good 👍

Plenty of talk about rest , but the task you are setting yourself, it will be about training tired legs. When it warms up maybe knock out a few back to back 300 ks . And how come you ain’t got your out bike attached to the turbo ?..

Both efforts were really good, ur partner Kyle gave u some really good encouragement with regards your watts per kilo, 4 plus watts per kilo is brill. The fact you always want to do better is a positive aswell. Rouvy is brill 2, im injured at the mo, but cant wait to get back on the bike. I stumbled across ur channel and have watched quite a bit while been off work, its helped me stay positive, so nice one 👍

wow , that's quite a challenge, every stage of the Tour! That's great. you'll be flying at the national hill climb then.

Phew! So glad you ended up in a better place. Sometimes you need to be your own coach, coaches are supportive and super positive, as individuals, we are negative and hyper-critical, So think like a coach! Also, have a rest day before any test.

I’m saving my pennies for an indoor trainer for my bike. What brand do you use? When I finally get it I’ll be using your code for Rouvy. Hopefully before winter is over. Until then I’ve got my elliptical.

The mic sound quality is really good. Rouvy will update the software to say, "Put the fan on, now."

AMY 👀...listen nobody cares about your numbers ftp asg ify just keep competitive and always enjoy ...thanks love you vids ..remember 😘

I have Rouvy - will look forward to the group ride - have you decided on a date?

I think ramp tests are more difficult than the 20 minute test. Don’t worry

Nice one!

Well done Amy you will do it everybody is different and when you’re out on the bike and got all the views and donkeys sheep and more you will fly along 🚴💨💨💨amazing woman you will be fine 🫶🏻👍

Buy a smart plug and plug your fan into it then connect to an Alexa Alex ! Turn the fan on no need to get off then 😂

Good job! You are doing awesome! Keep on riding! Also, if either of you ever feel stressed or anxious, Matthew 11:28 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Dont be hard on yourself Amy you should have at least two to three day easy days before attempting an FTP ramp test so your fresh. I find the ramp test difficult if your not used to high intensity, next time try a real FTP test with your endurance you should do way better. Quick note the Neo is auto calibrating so it should be accurate.

You are going to carrying some fatigue over from your long ride. I’ve found I can get a better result on the 20 minute test rather than the ramp test, you might be the same. Garmin also have a ramp like FTP test which is not a test to failure but it does require a heart rate strap.

Well done 💪 Your watts to kg is around 4.2. That puts you in the top 1% of Trainer Road female athletes. These are serious cyclists. Let that sink in. Imagine how much stronger you'll be following some more structured training. Exciting!

Can we please just talk FTP as a raw number you are way too close to a fat old man on that. Let’s just move quietly on from Watts/kilo to save me a lot of embarrassment! You know what will make or break your goals this summer and it ain’t raw power. You have got it gal. Now obviously I have had too much red wine to be throwing praise like this around. Don’t worry normal service will be resumed once I sober up….😂

195W is higher than almost 99% of the world's population! Congratulations! Kyle is right. It's the Watts/Kg that counts. I'm a 3.3Watts per Kg and that's pretty good for me. Most people struggle to get 1 watt per Kg.

Don't be standing up on an FTP test Amy. Keep seated 👍🏻

i find the 5 minute warm up in the Rouvy ramp test is not enough, especially as an endurance focused rider. 30 minute spin before hand normally much better!

You said it yourself. It's whatever you can achieve out on the road that counts. You're a killer on the road. I've thrown the heart rate belt/cadence sensor and power meter in the trash. After that, I got the joy back and got stronger.

You're not supposed to stand up, why would you do a FTP test if you're going to stand up. Try again after ~3 days of rest and don't stand up, good luck!

Superb Amy 🎉

I bought your book from Velo Bavarian this morning and I haven’t been able to put it down! You are incredible! Ride on Girl!

You are so strong Amy, on and off the bike, keep training, keep smiling, life is more than just numbers, when you get to 62 like me, getting out there and enjoying it is the biggest buzz xx

FTP means very little other than setting your zones. Your aim now is to boost your endurance so you can ride for 30 days for this challenge. Recovery is vital as that's when your fitness grows.

Kyle is an excellent cheerleader! So is Nige! You got this, Amy!

Different power system when you stand, same with low cadence. Perhaps a check list before you start might be appropriate 😅

Really listen to your body Amy when it is telling you it is fatigued. Work with your body not against it and it will reward you once recovered. Your coach nailed it in mental approach above everything. Your mind is pointing in the right direction. Now is the time to learn to improve for summer success. You have got this.

Don't worry you did a 100 miler the day before ....a different day will make a difference...

Hi Amy, I totally agree with Nigel you have done extremely well where you’ve got to up to now your body needs rest and the next ramp test you do the day before. Just take it easy wake the legs up and just enjoy and your big adventure this year we will all be rooting you on and follow you. You’re going to smash it. Keep up the great work ❤❤

I do not like the Turbo trainer, but atleast you got time on the pedals

What a difference a day makes eh 💪

Hello Pretty Amy. ride safe always.

I've always enjoyed your honesty and vulnerability to open up about motivation, mental health and any of life's random little nuggets. You'll have helped more people than you know! Also going to Calpe for the first time next month - look forward to seeing what you think!

Sick. Looking forward to following this challenge 😊 well done for being brave and putting it out there 🙌

Now that is a challenge , I know you don't need much motivation but please watch" One Day Ahead" it's inspirational I was in tears
