I’ve just finished my 4 Week Challenge to get a faster bike leg on my upcoming Ironman 70.3.
I tested my 20 minute max power at the beginning and at the end of the 4 weeks.
Here’s what I wrote 4 weeks ago: ‘’Hey everyone, I am new to the community. I’ve just been given my 4 week challenge by Arne. Looking forward to testing myself and getting my power/speed up before my 70.3 here in the Netherlands in June. Have a great weekend 💪🏽👊🏼’’
My 4 Week Challenge Results:
• 87% Workouts completed as planned
• Result 20 min test 1: 224 Watts
• Result 20 min test 2: 257 Watts
• 14.7% Improvement
• FTP from 213 -> 244 Watts
I really enjoyed the challenge, the structure of the training and most importantly testing myself!!
What I took most from this challenge is that there is so much potential I unlocked which much more to do.
This challenge has really pushed me closer to my goal, even on my easy rides now I feel much stronger & faster which will help with my race in 3 weeks.
So I live in the Netherlands and as people know who live here the weather can be quite unassuming, so the only thing I didn’t like was the home workout when the weather was crap because it’s not the same as going out on your bike in the fresh air.
I would recommend this challenge to everyone but especially people that are competing.
Lastly - I just want to thank the main man!! Amazing coach and person!! Can’t wait for the next 4 week challenge 😜
Apologies for the long post
