Found it, it has linked this mornings ride which wasn't too taxing although I did hit 194bpm which is my max these days.
Feel Im in a similar place to Fez. I set up a custom zone 2 ride on Zwift, based on FTP @185 which according to this is pretty much in the middle of the range it should be. I sit at 125 to 135bpm, in the 140s when I’m fatigued from a big week. Maybe I need to jack it up a bit!

I found that those 1.5 hour Z2 sessions at 200w stayed in my legs for days. Because its ERG its just a solid effort with zero let up. I think as I have mentioned before that doing these later in the evening isn't good for me however so perhaps if I did them earlier in the day I would be OK. At some point I will try that. I've moved all my shorter interval sessions earlier in the day and its made a difference for sure.
This might be a slightly odd question, but can you hire an indoor cycling setup for the day? We have a work event where different social clubs can have some space and people will wander around looking at what the clubs do and I was thinking it would be cool to have Zwift setup that people can ride a small climb, or see what power they could put out etc. I don't think I would get my Kickr Bike in my car though...
I doubt it honestly. What car have you got? I got a kickr home in our suv without taking it apart at all but you can take the legs off at the back, put the saddle down and pull all the adjustments in to make it quite compact. In fact looking at it now it would be very small with that stuff. If you really wanted to go ham, rotate the bars as well.
I always thought you had an Octavia type car? I'd be surprised if a Kickr bike didn't fit even in something smallish like a Fiesta once you took the legs off, unless it's considerably different to the Kickr shift
Main question would be whether you want a load of people using your Kickr!

Better question is whether loads of people want to use his sweaty Kickr!
Maybe whoever has the slowest time has to lick the saddle?
Might as well keep it competitive

Had a good TTT on Tuesdays ZRL. We only had 5 riders (1 short) but 4 of us regular TTT'ers and the other our strongest rider we set out to maximise it. 45s rotations at 4.5w/kg. First 2 heaviest guys out the pen to get us upto speed downhill, then full rotation until the climb. Strongest guy and our lightest (53kg) then hold the front while the rest of us trying to hang on! Lost our heaviest guy (88kg) in the first steepest sections of it, so the rest of us all in (need 4 finishers). Bumped my FTP by 7 points (274W@75kg) from doing 3.7w/kg for 20 mins, so can't have gone much harder. But with a short TTT considering that FTP 10-15w over 'actual'.
Team took 2nd on the night, but with that being race #4 and we've been 1st for the previous 3 we have a healthy lead overall!
My 'peak' was around 2017-18 and my son was born in 2017, so was downhill for a few years after - really considered getting back to those numbers the real 'goal' when I was able to ride more. I've done it - actually surpassed it really this winter as same FTP (265-270W) but I'm 1-2kg lighter now too!

That's a decent improvement, well done! But also enjoy it, anything below 60min is good for me these days. Maybe with some focussed training and lose a couple of kg I could target a 50min, but it would take some real effort (I don't do long & hard efforts like that!)
Sometimes that's all you can hope for, but also don't be disheartened! We're all getting older, so sometimes just treading water and 'staying the same' is all we can hope for - as it takes work to even do that.

I was just having a post ride shower and had a thought about AdZ. In theory, it kind of gets easier as you get better. If you do it in 1hr30 then you aren't putting it as hard work for that time as someone doing it in 45 minutes but you are putting out a very hard effort for 1hr30. The guy doing it in 45 minutes will be working harder for those 45 minutes but he only has to suffer for a short while.
What i'm trying to say is that I am working harder than the really fit guys essentially.

Ahh I assumed you meant the full leg ones that threaten to squeeze your sausage.
Depends on sausage length. Sadly for my wife these don’t get close to mine.
Edited to add these do go up to the thigh. Maybe I’ve linked wrong ones. Hamstring/Quad were a focus for me.
