Yes, performance in the range of 105-120% of FTP does reflect your recent training history. The good news is that this is very trainable. The discussion at > [@Short intense period before starting base? Chad's short FTP boost plan](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/short-intense-period-before-starting-base-chads-short-ftp-boost-plan/6875/5): > > There isn’t a plan for this, but it’s a pretty easy thing to slap together if you comb the workout catalog’s VO2max offerings. Personally, I like starting short (30-second repeats) and growing the durations over a block as short as a single week to as long as 3 weeks depending on when my progress and/or motivation starts to stall. It never fails to surprise me how much more manageable 3-minute VO2max repeats are if I start short and work my way up to these longer jobbers, even if I do it over t… and especially Coach Chad’s response is a good one on this topic. Given you are new to indoor training, one thing that is definitely worth looking at is your cooling setup, as the lack of air movement versus outdoors can definitely hamper your performance at higher effort levels. Experienced indoor cyclists usually have multiple and powerful fans, and can sometimes be found sneaking around local airfields at night “liberating” propellers from light aircraft in a bid to further increase the airflow in their pain caves. 😀 --- _[View the full topic](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/not-another-question-on-ftp/51096)._
