Default Set up an FAQ

I was thinking it would be a good idea to set up a sticky thread titled "FAQ". In it would be an index of commonly asked topics and links to threads, specific posts or other resources.

If everyone could send in suggestions along with links on commonly asked topics, I'd be happy to compile an index, group things into sensible categories etc.

Cheers
Alex

Some starting suggestions:

Training Indoors

Difference between indoor & outdoor training

Types of indoor trainers / recommendations

How to use rollers

Weight/gym training

Pedalling technique

How to determine FTP / MAP

How to improve FTP / MAP

Power levels

Interval training

Which powermeter?

Powermeter troubleshooting

Cadence (& torque)

Training plans

I think this is a great idea. A few things I'd hope to see:

1. What do ATL, CTL, TSB, TSS mean and how should they be interpreted
2. Power zones and physiological adaptations expected
3. Reliable FTP and MAP testing protocols
4. Power meter calibration and validation

Regards,
Mark

I hope you're not expecting the questioners to provide the answers
