It seems Inscyd has a competitor. Bjorn Kafka was on That Triathon Skow recently. I thought it was a great interview. As usual Mikael has great guests and does a fantastic job interviewing. [image] Training, testing, metabolism and physiology with Björn Kafka | EP#286 Björn Kafka is a …

@Kipstrong But your indoor and outdoor result maybe line up better then mine. A double test would definitely give me some insights. Maybe fatmax is within the same range. But for a reason I don’t know (but I guess pedal strok differences) everything above FTP (and around) feels much harder for me in…

I can’t hold the higher powers indoor for 4 mins either compared to outdoor. Indoor protocol is a ramp test to determine the vo2 max. Much more palatable mentally. So you don’t need to do 4 mins all out.

[image] Kipstrong: So you don’t need to do 4 mins all out. But the 12 minutes all out is also very hard

[image] Quaestor: But the 12 minutes all out is also very hard Indeed :slight_smile: . Just did my outdoor test (1 day). 10s seated sprint was ok, 4min was also not that bad. But the 12min was a real struggle. Legs could not handle the load and power dropped a little. Last year I did a 6min a…

[image] Ok, better then I expected. Altough my idea was that I had a lower Vlamax. Vo2max little room to grow. In WKO5 I went to 58 last year. And I can also loose some 3kg so…:wink: Fatmax 193W, ok. How do you have to interpret the chart for “My effect of a higher VO2max” and " My effect of a l…

You mean Total hours per week? In base min 13h30 and max 17h40… Thé others I have to do a little by feel. Because I never do a specific week Treshold alone or sweetspot. Mostly it is a combo. But maybe I should.do this? But I am in an extensive block with Z2 volume and 1 FTP and 1 SST progression p…

[image] stino77: You mean Total hours per week? That, and also: The proportions of SST, FatMax, Vo2, Threshold work relative to base. How does the VO2 estimate compare to Garmin’s. Where does it put you in the spectrum of Sprinter - Marathon athlete. [image] stino77: What do others do?…

The effect of a high vo2 / lower Vla max chart is for modelled performance on the time trial default course. So it gives you time saving and av power. I do a lot of my base training at fatmax due to lower training volume than needed (10-11hrs). I’ve got a consultation with Bjorn next week and wil…

Anyone who did some blocks for advice? Two weeks following i have extensive weeks planned. With Z2 and 1 FTP and 1 SST session (progressive both). Volume around 14-15hrs. But as recommended after the test. Should I do one SST week and then one FTP week using the numbers from the calculation? Is the…
