Happy New Year.
Well I now know what kind of shape I'm in after being tested on a rig. The tests show that my functional threshold power and VO2 max are reasonable for my age and that I have a good peak power output but the major downside is that I am just too heavy (or fat if you don't want to be PC).
If I can shift 90lbs then I have the potential to be okay at time trials and sprinting but I need to make sure that I lose fat and not muscle. Currently I am 43% fat which is pretty piss poor by anyone's standard but with a strictly monitored nutritional plan and training plan we should be able to turn that around. The plan is to lose 45lbs this year and 45 lbs next year.
Training is roughly two to three months of long steady rides to get the body used to burning fat and then in March/April the speed work will start to bring up the speeds together with the distances.
