Will low levels of CTL cause an 'artificial' ceiling on ones FTP?
Let's use a CTL of 30, 60, 90, and 120 as our FTP examples:
120-seems to be a solid high end number
90-many people race with a 90
60-many people who train a lot and get sick or have some time off may see 60, as well as those who just simply train around that value.
30-Many newbies and weekend warriors and those 60CTL folk who can't ride for whatever reason will see 30-something from time to time.
Now with these examples, how much do you think FTP will be compromised, if at all, at these different CTL values? Let's assume 120 CTL has 100% FTP. Will 90 have 90-95%, will 60 have 80-85%, will 30 have 60-70% of the 100% 120CTL potential? Less, more...
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.
