I have a just finished the first week of a two week testing block, which has given me power durations at 20', 5', 1' and PMax. This week's tests aim to fill out dips in the PD curve at short, medium and long durations.
My question is with regards to what strengths at certain durations might indicate and how best to move forward.
Basically, my 5' power seems to be where I test well (385w - 5.7w/kg) and am curious what, if anything, this means for my 20' power (306w - 4.5). Should I be looking now to work over and around threshold to pull it up? Or work from below to push it up?
My eventual aim is to be able to hold upper tempo to sweet spot for longish durations (60-90'), then recover, then repeat 2 or 3 times. My general weakness is always stamina as I struggle to find time to do lots of long miles. I will be making more time to train from March onwards.
Sorry, lots of questions, but want to make sure I move forward with a clear direction.
