@TTM @upstart @onyerbike thanks for getting back to me. I agree part of it will certainly be knowing what to aim for during the test as opposed to the first which was guess work. Hopefully the next one will mitigate that.
I might try a different 4 week block based around sprinting this time. The only racing I'm doing is a few of the fixed crits in London so the sprint plan may make sense, or would the hive mind suggest sticking with the current circuit focused plan?

Stick with it. Looks good, lots of variety and suits your crit ambitions.
Consistency + recovery > actual session content

Crit specific training maybe better than sprint training; got to be there at the end to be in the sprint. This puts sprinting in as the last and shortest part of the plan.

Ah, sorry. Missed the crit ambition bit.
Yes then, as above.

Yep, both Xert and WKO4 attempt to provide a mathematically modelled FTP based on your ride history/PD curve.
As ever, this will work ok for some and be miles off for others. They also require feeding with 'good' data. So, maximal numbers at various points along the PD curve and without good data can spit out numbers that aren't true.
