What was your power during those TTs? I would imagine it must of been much higher than 250, more like 350+ but then again, don't all you Brits do your TTs with 18wheelers constantly passing you?

Re: Poll: What's your Functional Threshold power?
Ok I'll jump in...
Max power achieved for 20 min = about 330 watts So FTP as 95% (correct me if I'm wrong) of 330 = 313 watts 18 y.o. female have been training but not racing... yet |

Re: Poll: What's your Functional Threshold power?
Somehow, I feel scepticism...
Well, I based my calculations on a friend's powertap: we weigh the same and own the same rollers. So with the same tire pressure, this should be the power output associated with the speed displayed. I verified the results with a home stationary bicycle that does display power and the results are at +/- 5 watts difference. |

You mean on the stationary bicycle? Well, there is a simple chart with power numbers associated with the different levels of resistance and rpm. |

You really need an SRM, Powertap, or Ergomo to get any accurate measure of power. There is very little validity with wattage numbers from any thing else outside of a exercise lab.

Re: Poll: What's your Functional Threshold power?
Well I've read this thread from beginning to end, so I'll just slink away into a corner somewhere and come back when I have a figure worth posting.
 BTW RD (similar age to your's truly)your FT of 325W was last May's figure -  what the hell is it now?!?! |
