Who said max? I didn't say max.
Previously I've done 105-120% FTP depending on what stage of the block it was done.As for standardisation, that's up to the rider, just like all the other test variables.
Bloody rookies, coming in here, complaining about test consistency to a bunch of sportive riders armed with Stages...

Ohh.. That's what it's for. Weird
What's wrong with 6 mins progressive effort, and a couple of activation sprints?

@xavierdisley
I really disagree with this 5min "blowout" effort before a 20min test. It's very difficult to standardise, no-one knows or explains how hard you should go (because if you do a proper 5min max then your 20min effort will be ridiculously low) and just do a normal warm up instead.
For people that really worry about the 20min/60min relationship then do a 20min test, and within a week or so do a 60min test without whinging about it and work out the % difference so that you know for sure.
