hippy-
Nope highee. I was talking about the % I target for shorter intervals.
Higher % for sub 10mins
Lower % for over 25minsI have an Excel file. Contains my common intervals, the number of reps I should do, and the %ftp I should do them at. I tend to update this a lot. I just upped my 5min target for example (most local climb. Good for winter). Difficult to know if this is a general FTP increase, or a result of short interval training, and a bias in that zone. But so long as the targets are accurate I'm not bothered.

Meh.
The standard 20min test works well enough for me.
I get the point though. If I do The 2x8min test I get a much higher score. Basicaly I'm great over 6mins, and can hold on for 8 (with a little drop off). My power curve is pretty steep.
But then I use higher % for my shorter intervals to compensate.
