Hi All,

My last FTP Ramp was in the Spring and over the summer, based on intervals.icu, my FTP held pretty much steady, maybe down a few watts.

Now that I’m back on my trainer for the winter. Should I do a FTP Ramp or just follow the Recommended workouts and Progression Levels?

Thanks.

It’s best to start with a Ramp test.
