To increase FTP 2x20.
Which I suspect Works partly because you get good at the 20 minute test. Which would make the resultant FTP less reflective of Your true ability. But 'Close-enough JPeg'.
I plan to do loads of 20 minute supra threshold work, and loads of base miles. Threshold when time is tight, and base when I have have more. I really need to up my FTP. I have great endurance, and short term Power. But I cant use these without an FTP that lets me keep up With the decent Groups (decent as in other fast Heavy mamils).
If I had the flexibility to follow a training plan. I'd just buy one off sufferfest. Mainly because I have the vids, and know them well.
For what its Worth my FTP is 290w (unfortunatly I'm 78kg though). Which is great and all (for a MAMIL). But I can't help but feel its my weakest link. As I intend to do a lot of races over 1km, and less than 400km NexT year. It needs addressing.
