Out-riding the Black Dog
No I haven’t seen the new FTP test. I would be interested though. What is it called in their workout list?
I am sceptical about the 20 minute FTP on TR. As a rule I can train on a much higher FTP than the results of the test show. I use my Kickr Snap in erg mode. Mind you: Two days ago I did my assessment after 5 hours on the tools digging and grubbing out tree stumps in the frozen soil. I also had taken down a small Pyrus tree. Not a good day to do it, but that’s what life dictates and sometimes I arrive at an Audax already wiped out from 5 days physical, outdoor work. Somehow I get round.
Ok @Tin Pot I have found the ‘Ramp Test X’. It won't auto-calculate just yet. I get the impression they may work on that. So basically you ride as hard as you can until you bail. I get that bit, but how do you work the maths to workout your ballpark FTP? Sorry I’m no mathematician.
