If I had the time to get out then I would, but at the moment this is working for me. The only riding out I do (besides the odd leisurely 60 miler) is on the velodrome anyway, and I've found that my muscular endurance and recovery have massively improved since starting properly training it. When I'm on the road I can't be arsed to do zone training, but on rollers/turbo (with a powertap) it's all I'm interested in. I'm interested to do another FTP test in a week or so as I know it will have improved, even if it's just from my psychological ability to suffer for longer.

Don't be surprised when you get back out riding all you've done is maintained your fitness, and made no gains. I'm no fan of 'virtual' power.
