Threshold testing

On Tuesday 20th September i undertook my first threshold test, its fair to say it wasn't a very nice experience and alot harder than i ever expected.

The test consisted of a 20 minute warm up followed by 5 minutes at max effort approx 310 Watts, with 10 minutes recovery and then the 20 minutes max effort slightly lower power. I aimed for 280 Watts and then a long cool down period.

My results are as follows 5 minute test.

And the 20 minute test.

As you can see from the results both efforts are down from my estimated power.

The results state i can produce 3.6 Watts per Kg. Not massive power but pretty good considering i've only been cycling 13 months.

New sponsor for season 2012 - sports therapist Sam Law

Jon Bond would like to welcome Sam Law sports Therapist as an official sponsor for 2012.

I would just like to say a big thank you to Sam for offering her support to me for this coming season.

I have known and been treated by Sam for the past 3 years,she has never let me down and always been able to squeeze me into her busy schedule.

There have been days leading up to races in which I have sometimes considered withdrawing, but after visiting Sam be it 6am or 10pm at night her sound words of advice have got me to every race and whats more, I've always finished.

If anybody needs a sports therapist or PT in the Maidstone Kent area then I suggest you give Sam a shout.
