• Ohh.. That's what it's for. Weird

    What's wrong with 6 mins progressive effort, and a couple of activation sprints?

  • Beats me! Or a MAP test and just take a % off the end of it - much easier as there's no pacing involved, you can do it blind if you've got someone to help you and it's not as affected by residual fatigue.

    Having said that when you get enough data and a better feel for things you don't even need to do them - NP over a ~20min duration will get you most of the way there if you're doing intervals on the turbo or something, or a 25 mile TT, 1hr chaingang, etc.

  • Ah, glad to hear you say this. I don't really test much anymore (only when coach tells me to, which is rare) - I know where I am and clearing enough time to be fresh for them seems like a good way of wasting half a week of training.
