In "The Book" and WKO+ all training levels are based upon FTP, even those way beyond FTP, mainly speaking of L5 and L6. I wonder if it wasn´t better to calcuate L5 and L6 from the CP curve, especially if one has a large discrepancy between the FTP and VO2max power. Let´s say that if you have a FTP of 320 W and a 5 min PB of 425 W, does it make sense to train L5 for 5 min at 360 W (320 * 1,13) or would it be more rational to take a look at the CP curve and take some percent off from the PB value and stick to this?
My second question is regarding the AWC. How can I incorporate this value into my L6 interval design? Is this possible or is it just a indcator of a ability without direct practical use out of itself?
