I had a lot of problems with the Suunto ANT+ adapter for some reason. I ended up using a Garmin one, which has caused me a lot less trouble.
I haven't been out since October. Help!

But you've been taking some fantastic photos on Facebook, very impressed with them! Time to get a good hardshell type backpack and cycle to places for shooting!?I haven't been out since October. Help!
I think that is ground for banning you from the Road Cycling thread if I remember the forum rules correctly?
Well that's a bit gash. I know my Suunto stick is ok with TR & Zwift so won't be changing it. I'm going to do a few more sessions of Sufferfest but can see me cancelling it (before the free week is up)! Enjoyed last night but not as impressed with the app as I'd hoped to be! High expectations!I had a lot of problems with the Suunto ANT+ adapter for some reason. I ended up using a Garmin one, which has caused me a lot less trouble.

Cartridge baby!
That's just the average, for each of the 'climbs' (they're hardly anything) I'm well over my FTP of 270W: 300W, 400W, 370W & 300W averages. It's only the flats/downhills pulling the average down. There wasn't many strong winds around today and with the sun out, admittedly I did put a little more effort in than normal!touch;30479684 said:For an 8 minute commute, riding at FTP shouldn't feel very hard.

BennyC;30481052 said:Keeping the intensity low and the ride as aerobic as possible (high cadence, avoid mashing etc) so it's less muscularly taxing will help. It'll take a while for you to adjust to the new volume, especially if you plan on going 'cold turkey' and jumping straight in the extended commute every day. I'd probably reduce your leisure cycling for a couple of weeks to accommodate and then gradually bring the volume back up.
RE food, of course you'd want to eat more you're TDEE will increase from the extra miles. How much more you need to eat depends entirely on your power output and total work done.

Your body will adjust but be prepared to be absolutely knackered for a few weeks. 10 hours of riding a week is tiring regardless of intensity. Once your body adapts you could then make your commute a bit more training oriented - maybe a fasted ride in for endurance then some intervals on the way home a couple of times a week.
