^this. I can test, go horribly because my heads not into it, test 2 days later and absolutely smash it.
For next season I'd like to find an alternative that works out my threshold via different training sessions rather than relying on a single test - isn't there something out there, Xert or something?

FTP questions for those more well versed. Finally decided to start looking at power as I moved to doing more sessions on the WattBike at the gym (lack of time for longer rides during the week/not wanting to fork out for powermeter). I''ve been doing 4 week training plans from British cycling, doing threshold heart rate tests previously so today I did my second FTP test. Increase of 4% over 4 weeks (one week a bit thrown off due to Thundercrit). Interested to see peoples thoughts around whether this would be above or below "normal". I would assume the first block accurately training at power zones would increase this at a high rate that normal so I think 4% may be a bit low? The training plan is this one. Thanks!
