I bought a WattBike Atom in August 2018, aged 44, and without realising it I started my cycling journey! In this video I undertake a RAMP TEST whilst describing the key things I did, and inspiring people who helped me, all in the time honoured quest to increase power and reduce weight!

Most humans will never get to 4.7w/kg...

Well done, just a suggestion, you don’t have to be training when doing the blog .

I got my indoor trainer and seriously started training for indoor and outdoor racing at 32 in 2019. My FTP has gone from 190+ - 263 over the course of the one year! (Weight something like 77-78 kg, down to 74) Dudes like you really inspire me that I can keep getting better and better. Thanks for the good info, and I agree if you had been concentrating, you could have nailed another 30 seconds to a minute.

That W/kg improvement is absolutely insane for that time period.

Dude could easily have been a professional if he had discovered cycling at a young age.

Congrats Phill! That 400w Minute is torture! Hopefully I will be able to get beyond that soon!

Jayne nailed it.😂 if you had done that ramp test without talking, your FTP would have probably been around 310 to 320! It is so cool watching you improve.

Absolutely inspiring!. Am so glad I found this one Phill, just perfect for my motivation, such a superb log of you journey so far, makes so much sense and has cleared my mind of self doubt, to be able to see your progress since Aug18-todate and what's required, I feel great going into my own journey now! 🙌✊

Love you're videos Phil. Ive been a follower of yours for about a year and you have inspired me to get back on the saddle again (at 55) after falling out of love with an overload of cycling in 2019.

Phil - your videos are exceptional. Extremely informative and very inspiring. You have some serious mental fortitude and excellent presenting skills. Your hand movements are very statesman like. Keep serving up the prime slices of content. Many thanks indeed. Not far off 5K subs :o)

Great insight into your journey. As you saw I literally just did Ed's 1st workout this morning , so looking forward to how that progresses.

Great video Phill! You are proof that consistency yields results. I use the polarised training model as well and have seen good results. My problem is that I also love Zwift racing, but find it stalls my gains. I’ve just been upgraded to A so I need to follow your lead and knuckle down and do some strict training! 👍👍👍

I’m a bit late to this but this is excellent Phill. Really enjoyed hearing your cycling story especially as I’m only recently taking my training a bit more seriously, and it feels like I’ve got a literal and metaphoric mountain to climb!
