120% of FTP for 8 minutes outdoors - is that possible?

yes. Coach Chad covers this in podcast episode 189. My notes here: Time at VO2max discussion - #11 by bbarrera

I can’t see those, but will state its the difference between the use of repeated 5-min efforts to generate a lot of time at high % VO2max, versus a single all-out max 5-min effort.
