I have a question… This last week I hit a PR of 20 min power 275w at 58.5k resulting at of 260ftp but I did the Ramp FTP test today but my result was disappointed at 234 ftp . I don’t know what to follow in this case cuz I know is off season but I want to increase my ftp by next year and I don’t w…

Was your 20 min PR set outside? Usually people can hit higher power numbers outside due to cooling, positioning, motivation, etc, but you want to base your training on the number you tested indoors. I’d recommend starting the workouts at 234W and bumping up the intensity if they feel too easy, then…

PR was made outside ( TT 8miles Flat ) and yes I’m planing redo the Ramp Test for sure. So no matter what power you perform outside you stick with your wattage ( Ramp Test results ) indoors?

Even on those workouts you don’t need to ‘loss out’ as you can bump them up. Then either just manually adjust FTP by or just re do FTP. The point about different s…

You took an ftp test right after an 800 tss week?! I’d say you did well to hit 234 on the ramp test, I’d be horizontal
