skinny-
I don't do outside/inside FTP and properly 'tired' means you won't hit power targets or number of interval target, it doesn't make the efforts 'grim' or 'horrific'. Someone's FTP is up shit creek if 6x7@FTP with 5min rests is 'sheer hell'. The whole point of FTP is that it's what you can sit on for an hour solid.
hippy
6x7 = 42min but with 5min rest in between each one, at FTP? How is that hard? I can do short intervals at FTP all day long if I get to rest for 5min between each one.
FTP is your hour power so if you're struggling to hold it for much less time than that (42min PLUS rests) then something is wrong. Unless when you say 20min FTP you don't mean FTP at all?
