Is it reasonable to base my FTP on a hour long race effort? if so, should I be using actual or normalised?
Perhaps somewhere between the two, it depends.
And it depends if you were flat out for the hour.
It'd be from a cross race, so very spikey.
324w actual, 335w normalised, Coggan weighted at 363w (definetly not happening). I've been using 321w for training for the past month, so I suppose I should push it up 5w at least.
I should probably just do a proper test, but, 🤮.
