Haha! Yeah that’d be great.
Can’t seem to shift my FTP past 300w though. This year I’ve done ~30% more structured interval training on the turbo compared to the last two seasons and I’m no faster. If anything I’m a bit slower this year.

5w/kg is properly strong. I was reading somewhere that very aerobically inclined athletes tend to need to add significant volume for further adaptation, also from anecdotal evidence from very fast runner friends.
20-24h a week of zone 1/zone 2 riding might boost your FTP (just a winter of growing bigger vascular network maybe) but noone has the time for that...

Do a turbo session without your fan.
That might have the desired effect as a lot of cramp seems heat related.
As you are quite small and lean you probably shed heat fairly well.

I think it would be interesting to test your lactate levels at some point.
Maybe you have pro level legs in respect to lactate generation and tolerance, and your possible limiting factor is lungs/heart and oxygen delivery.
And if your V02Max goes up, your legs will just produce more power until it gets to the point of lactate burn.
That would be nice!
