Extending time at FTP - 1 hour power as % of FTP

[chidlow]

20 minute test protocol is better than a ramp test but still not great. Have a read of this article:

The FTP Test: Physiology and New Methods

Then if you’re brave enough take a dive into the corresponding thread on here:

Kolie Moore's FTP test protocol

I’ve seen some mention of this in some other threads, but I’m wondering who here as done one of Kolie Moore’s FTP test protocols, and how it worked for them. I’m thinking of giving one a try and wanted to gather other’s experiences and how they constructed a workout based on his descriptions. In particular, what would be a ‘gradual’ increase in power for the baseline and progression 1, which is what I would be experimenting with.
