Hi Guys, i.m a bit new to the whole "power" thing and have a few typical newbie questions for you experts out there. Firstly what exactly is functional threshold power? I did my first bike test at the weekend and was given figures for my power at anaerobic threshold and at v02 max. Are either of these comparable to FTP? Also should i use my power at anaerobic threshold as a target output for a 40km tt or should i aim for a bit higher/lower? Incidentally my AT power was 260 and VO2 max 310 (was told the latter could/should be higher ), is there anyway of using these figures to estimate a 40km tt time for a standard set of conditions (i.e flat smooth surface, no wind etc)?
Cheers guys
