Yeah, I wouldn't try that. If you want to estimate ftp power without worrying about pacing do a ramp test instead.
danb-
I’ve done plenty over the years but I’m not sure I’ve got to the end and felt I’ve done myself justice. Only on a ~20 min climb overseas have I ever done what I felt was best effort.
I look forward(!) to seeing where a proper ramp test puts me because it’s near impossible to hit the steps accurately on a dumb trainer.

Saris H3 is in the post.
One thing I wondered is whether you could theoretically do a power test in erg mode? For example, could I set my FTP at 350w and try to simply turn the pedals at ~368w for 20 mins?
Failing i.e. grinding to a halt would eliminate the question of whether you’ve squeezed every last drop out.
