Hey everyone, Just thought I would start a thread on people’s tips and tricks for the Ramp Test - motivation, cadence, anything that helps! The reason I wanted to start this thread is I am finding executing the Ramp Test is a bit of a skill in its own right - kind of like how football players have…

I’m always so nervous pre-ramp. Like now… In 1,5h I’ll be all good again when it’s all done and dusted.

Me too. Been dreading this evening for two days. Still trying to find ways out of doing it, might estimate and shift +/- 5w after the first few weeks :thinking:

Shift that expectation and make yourself look at this like any other workout. It may be difficult, but our head is the only thing in the way of executing this test. Step back, realize it’s not the end of the world, no matter the result. Prep like any other workout, just go in and do it.

that’s a great idea - maybe even a “feature request”

I’m not dreading it that much anymore. I know it’s not that bad. It’s just the psychological aspect of running myself into the wall that is unpleasant. :joy: Its all good though. I’m soon on the bike and soon enough it’s done and I can check what SSBMV I has given me in fitness. If any.

I found one example of a request for custom data. I know there have been other requests in the past. [image] Data Fields during Workout, Edit / Custom [Feature Request] TrainerRoad Software Hi, fairly new to the forum so I don’t know if this has been covered. Was looking…

Done. Up from 283w to 288w. Think I might be able to raise it to 290 but rather not rush it.

Positive result for me too. It’s all in the head!

How can a friend of mine set his ftp on his FIRST ramp test higher before taking the test ? He is an experienced rider and doesn’t want the ramp test to take 35 min in total . Is this set in profile when setting up his account or ??
