Robert Sims I agree 100%. I should have made my statement a little clearer as to the point i was trying to make. You “should” be able to finish every workout at 100% intensity at your current FTP, If in fact you are using the correct FTP. Does this mean you will “No” for the valid reasons you bring up. They all play a roll in whether or not you complete the workouts. There is something else going on here with regard to Mattpod’s post. The base phase is not meant to be hard. Taxing “Yes” but hard “No.” He mentions he is going into the workouts rested so your point about fatigue being a factor doesn’t seem to be an issue at face value. So if he is having to not only shorten his workouts by 30 minutes but also having to turn down the intensity he is using the wrong FTP.
