20min FTP Test Pacing Strategies

33

To figure out pacing for an upcoming 20 minute test, FasCat uses a pre-test 2x10-min threshold with 5-min rest between. Target is what you perceive your 20-min pace to be. Then use that information to pace your 20-min effort.

Example:

  • 2x10 completed at 265 and 262W
  • Field test 1st 5-min at 255-260W
  • Field test 2nd 5-min at 260-265W
  • Field test 2nd 5-min at 265-270W
  • Field test 3rd 5-min at all-out
