This Covid lockdown will provide some interesting info. I’m typically a high volume outdoors rider but for the last couple of months have been doing very little outdoors and a high volume sweetspot indoors and a bit of Zwifting just to give me something to do. My races are either cancelled or pushed back. My FTP is climbing but I’m normally not spending more than 2hrs on the bike at a time which is quite different to normal. Will be interesting to see what happens if I’m let out to do a longer race - will I be faster? Will I fall apart because I can’t deal with the extended saddle time? Right now I’ve just moved from Base into Build after adding 20W to my FTP and absolutely cannot complete 7x5@108%! Will give Build a couple more goes but if it sucks I’ll just do SS Base until they let us out to race.
