(25W is a solid increase, especially if you’re a fairly experienced cyclist already!) The only data that you have that’s been obtained in relatively consistent conditions is your FTP value (assuming all the tests were done indoors with a similar setup) so that’s the only value that really stands up in comparison- and it looks like that’s increased a sizable amount since starting indoor training. Yep, I didn’t race very often even prior to races being cancelled, so my PR’s are mostly sitting at where they were last season even though my performance in other respects indicates I’m a lot fitter. You would hit those when you go race and use the fitness built up on an interval based plan and since you’re likely not racing at all this year, you might just not be pushing things as hard (this also applies to the Garmin estimated FTP stuff) One potential - if you’re training exclusively to a training plan you will rarely, if ever, touch your all time power PRs.
