Yeah, I'd already seen that. The 4x10s @ 175% on day 1 seemed relatively fine, so I've no idea how 200% would feel over that sort of duration.
Checked my power curve on Strava and that has 1 min at 135%. Definitely seems low (and I was certainly trying), but it was set on the short climb towards the end of Zwift's Innsbruck after busting a lung for 20 something mins up the main one.
Gonna knock 15% off my FTP and try day 2 again this evening. That should be about 150% for the 45s efforts.
Brun-
Zwift workouts don't make any sense to me when I compare them to e.g. the suggestions in the Allen & Coggan book.
I thought this was an interesting examination:

You might find day 3 worse!
15 minutes tempo,
1m 150%,
1m 50%
30s 170%
30s 50%
15s 200%
45s 50%
10s 200%.
X 2.
I guess a kind of race finish simulation?
I quite enjoy this kind of effort personally.
