"FTP testing tonight so that will be fun.... not ![]() ![]() Remember in winter, your figures will be artificially low, as your muscles are 20% less efficient. So do ftp now outdoors or on turbo, then replicate in spring or on turbo! If you're using power meter, this can be offset by using temperature calibration. | |||

"Can someone please tell us total newbs what's going on? ![]() It's like an alien language lol Managed to sort my numb foot issue out by lowering my saddle slightly thanks to a Halfords stand at a local cycle festival event at the weekend. Amazing how much difference quarter of an inch makes ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"Can someone please tell us total newbs what's going on? ![]() Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is the maximum power output you can sustain for 1 hour, the figure can be used as a key performance indicator and can be used to formulate a power based training plan too. I'm new to this power training thing so I may have missed some other stuff too? | |||
