I've always been into optimizing my time, but today wondered about the other side.

I wonder what some of ftp or min/mile figures are for the WORST riders or runners. Like, the worst power or run pace on the most hours of training.

I'd have to imagine it would be somebody who reads the "epic base training" stuff, but never ever does any intensity and gets the whole idea wrong.

Just a curious thought.

A guy posted up in the ST forum recently that they were about to do a 1/2 IM and had been doing 5 to 6 hours a week and only ever managed 180w on 75kg's. Even on a really bad 90% conversion of a 20min test that only gest you to 198w for 20min. I'm pretty sure I tested out un-trained at more watts and w/kg totally off the couch. Like, from slob.

Interesting world.
