2008 Ftp?

Did the Monod thing and came up with the following...

Flat (don't do a lot of efforts on the flat but will change now I have a powertap on my track bike)
5min 263watts
20min 209watts
FTP 197 watts 2.16 W/kg

Windtrainer (don't do any efforts beyond 20min and rarely beyond 10min)
5min 306watts (in a MAP test)
20min 229 watts
FTP 212 watts 2.33 W/kg

Race
5min 287watts
20min 252watts
FTP 244watts 2.68 W/kg

Hill
5min 285watts
20min 264watts
FTP 259watts 2.85 W/kg

It'd be interesting to see what the FTP calculated from you MAP test (if you can do this) is and how it compares with the above. I'm sure Alex will know how to do this.

I don't calculate FTP from MAP. It's just another checkpoint to use along with other more reliable methods to validate.

FTP just typically falls into a range of 72-77% of MAP. Sometimes it falls outside that range. I have seen high 60s (e.g. me a month ago) and low 80s (a client) but that is not typical.

Also, when using Monod, you really need full on maximal efforts for the duration and they should be from tests completed around about the same time frame (e.g. within a week or two of each other). Using data other than that is pretty pointless.

I wouldn't use, e.g. any MMP data from a MAP test as an input into Monod.

If using race data, then I would consider a well paced pursuit effort and a well paced 10-mile / 16km TT as good data points. I would not consider road race/crit data as typically suitable. Max effort hillclimb data is OK if well paced but one needs to consider if an individual experiences different power climbing v flat.

Did a MAP test last night on track bike so little hard to find a decent cadence. Result was 341watts after a 366watts in mid winter when I was planning on going to Masters Track Worlds. Dieting pretty hard so not a lot in the tank.

Think that 72 - 77% will over estimate FTP for me. Being a trackie I suspect that I will do better at MAP tests than others.

Perhaps at the end of the day I need to look at the power doing what I intend to do rather than a test of any description.

Much better, retested after a few weeks more stable work and back up to 335W. Still a fair way below levels from the spring (and a bit heavier :o ) but much a much happier place to start rebuilding from.

An extra 20watts and a few kilos less. Nice going Fergie.

I better get my act together and lose a few pounds myself!

What about me :o
Life down at the bottom 😄

What is worse as I am finding that I am no longer a cycling newbie. Ya know the awesome period of time when you start something strange and new and your body reacts no matter how sloppy and unorganized your training is your performance make huge jumps?

I am no longer in that period just as I start recording data with a PM. Progress has slowed greatly. I am thinking I will be at the bottom of the list for a long time since my body is better suited for lifting than for cycling, but I will keep working hard and see where I end up. If it is still at the bottom of this list there has to be someone in this world that I can drop out on the road. 🙂

Yeah, but didn't you post some data a while back that showed an average power output of over 200watts for a ride that was a couple of hours long? I think somewhere you've got more than a few watts hidden that you just need to find a way to unleash... If you lay off the lifting for 10 to 14 days before the next FTP test you may be pleasantly surprised.

Someone noticed a post and then remembered my FTP claim and then stated that something didn't add up. The LINK that the person saw.

I had established my FTP from a test while on the trainer instead of on the roadway. I did this because that is where I do all of my training during the week. The data in link above felt like (RPE) a L3 ride to me on the outdoor course. It seemed pretty easy on the road, but I know on the trainer I do good to hold 190 for an hour.

I will do as you say and rest up (not lift weights) before the next test. I may not do another test until the spring and then I will look for a place out on the roadway that I can test without interruptions. Thanks for the tips.

Decided to post my fall 2007 thru 2008 FTP/CTL summary chart instead of a long writeup. Warts and all ...

Peak was 10-15W better than 2007 but the season was not as consistent as I hoped. On the -ve side, I hit a nice peak in early April and at the time hoped that was another step on the "stairs" but clearly couldn't hold that level. On the +ve side, by late August/September, I was close to that level and enjoyed the best string of races I've ever put together.

How many FTP tests did you do?! I noticed a lot of data points on that FTP line.

Good question. I predominantly use Deadly sin #6 from Dr. Coggan's list:

...er, ways of determining your functional threshold power (roughly in
order of increasing certainty):

1) from inspection of a ride file.
2) from power distribution profile from multiple rides.
3) from blood lactate measurements (better or worse, depending on how it

is done).
4) based on normalized power from a hard ~1 h race.
5) using critical power testing and analysis.
6) from the power that you can routinely generate during long intervals
done in training.
7) from the average power during a ~1 h TT (the best predictor of
performance is performance itself).

Occasionally #5 ....

So I have plenty of FTP-ish workouts to evaluate. Some weeks due to travel, illness etc -- I just estimated the FTP or left it the same as the previous week. I guess I should note I did not vary FTP in WKO as often as indicated here - it's my best estimate of FTP every week over the pre-season and season. I think I kept FTP in WKO at either 400 or 410 during the bulk of the season.

Formal FTP tests - motivated, rested etc? I have to admit a fat zero!

So you're able to knock out ~400watt efforts for long L4 intervals - say 20 minutes? Wow...

well I weigh closer to 100kg than 60kg so W/kg is not special. But yes, quite regularly over the year, I did 400-410W on the CT in ergo mode for long intervals - usually ~30min on the 1st effort. My last such w/o was on Oct. 30th with 400W ergo for 30:15 with some half-assed (maintenance) L5 followup.

My very best efforts were 420W ergo x 32:30 in early April (absolute peak) and 400W ergo x 45:00 in late August. 20MP best 430W, 15MP 445W, 10MP 463W, 5MP ~500W.

It's been a slow buildup since training with power since late 2002 (325W baseline FTP) - adding about 20W FTP per year. For power measurement I have the CT indoors, my trusty ole PR Pro on the road bike and an SRM Pro on the TT bike. I cross-check all PM's in the fall and in the spring. Nothing worse than perceived gains turning into 'drift'!

{edit: I did not or never have posted huge gains overnight!}

On the flip-side, 1-min power sucketh big-time - around 650W best and 5-sec maybe 950W. I very seldom break the kilowatt mark even for peak power on the powertap. Low AWC, zero fast-twitch, zero sprint!

500 watts for 5 minutes. Holy smokes batman... that's some motoring. Nice job.

I just checked back and, in Nov.2002, FTP was 325W & 5MP 390W for a 5MP/FTP ratio of 1.20.

In September, 2008 the best numbers were 415W & 500W for a ratio of ..... 1.20. Bit surprising but I had ridden on and off since '88 so I was nowhere near a newbie in 2002.

For a real world reference, on our local (somewhat slow) TT course my times have come down from around 32:30 in 2002 to 27:30 this year. Some of that, of course, is due to improved aerodynamics but the majority is simply improved threshold power.
