FTP % of MAP will properly rises and you become more trainied, but not by much.
Map tests are a good, repeatable, reliable way of testing improvement.
Some will be better at a map than 1h FTP/20 min FTP test. Some won't be able to suffer.
But it's still repeatable.I'd rate MAP tests as a method of tracking improvement.
Though if you want to know what your FTP is, go out and do a 40k TT when rested. That's what it is, everything else is an estimation.

hippy
I'm not asking for advice btw, I'm just doing a small bit of research for work. I'd always do an FTP test but a colleague thinks MAP tests are more common.
