What if you live and train and ride only at 8,500' +?

What is my "expected" sea level FTP, I live and train at altitude

Hi All, I try to use the search function but most of the questions were the opposite of my situation. I would like to know if ppl have experience or some useful references for calculating sea level FTP, when one lives and trains at altitude. Is it as simple as use the reverse of this table? Is the effect permanent or it wears out overtime? I’ve never trained or raced at sea level, does it mean I never got to do true personal physiological maximal efforts? [image] Thanks.
