So measuring TTE seems fairly obvious: take your power at FTP and see how long you can hold it. In general, expect anywhere from 40-59:59 mins. Is there anything more to it than that? How do you determine “holding it”? A power drop of some sort? Hypothetically, if I want to “spitball it” because I…

[image] stevemz: Trend and curve shift is more important than the absolute data points if you catch my drift. Totally agree. Very helpful answer, so thanks @stevemz . I’m heading up and to the right compared to some previous timeframes (using SeasonMatch etc). What I’m trying to do right now …

If you have WKO4, just look at the Extensice FTP recommendation in Optimized Intervals. If you don’t, the usual recommendation it gives me is around 94% of mFTP @ TTE length. If you can’t do it all in one go, just break it up into a long and a short or short and long. What I’ll usually do is to ta…

[image] stevemz: What I’ll usually do is to take the TR workouts and modify them, Yep, that’s the plan. [image] stevemz: I might break it up into 2 intervals of 35 and 25 minutes, or 40 and 20. :+1: @stevemz Will DM my WKO4 question.

i want to do next week this test. i thought to start with the baseline test :man_shrugging:t3: Empirical Cycling FTP Tests BASELINE TEST, 35-45 MINUTES OR TTE 10 minutes at 92-95 percent of target FTP Increase to 100 percent of target FTP for 15 minutes 10-15 minutes gradual power increas…

Read all about it: [image] Kolie Moore's FTP test protocol Training 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 …

if you cut away all jargon, then you can ride to the point when either your energy is depleted, your power is depleted or your motivation is depleted. Can you predict those? Yes, although you can over complicate things, and ignoring environmental conditions then you can estimate your power at any du…

Sorry to drag up an old thread @stevemz , but i am getting my head around creating Extensive Aerobic intervals from my WKO PD curve, and this thread was helpful, but raised a question If you use the Optimized Intervals recommendation of say 97% of PD at TTE, at what point does the PDcurve get pushe…

[image] PWeber: If you use the Optimized Intervals recommendation of say 97% of PD at TTE, at what point does the PDcurve get pushed out by performing by holding 100% of current TTE for longer? This is going to sound obvious, but extending TTE…increases TTE. If you hold mFTP for longer than t…

And your TTE also changes when you add short power efforts to your curve (of course we are talking only about WKO pdc). Usually when I target my short efforts (below 5 min) and the curv goes up, my TTE shortens along with stamina. So then you have to add these longer efforts to show that you are cap…
