  • Are you following one of their plans? I normally don't bother touching FTP until a scheduled test but I will manually tweak the % if it's too hard / too easy. It's kind of lazy but also I like to have only tested FTPs in it compared to outdoors where it's more a case of race/test/intuition.

    You could always do one and then carry on with an easier workout or do a double session day.

  • Am currently just doing a variety of the workouts from phase 1 of the base training plans. I look to see how much time I have free and chose a workout that fits my available time.

    Am just thinking I could move on to phase 2 but wondering if the ftp ought to be raised a bit.

  • You can use their Plan Builder to plug in what time you have available and which days you can ride and it'll fill out a plan for you. You can then add/remove workouts as needed. At least that's what I do. Ramp Test is only 20min so you could definitely throw one in if you're not worried about doing a planned one.

  • Do the ftp test. I have to do the same tomorrow, as have similarly found my power improve.
