• I guess because of the pacing aspect, rather than physical aspect.
    The 20min testing protocol is harder I feel (which is probably why I moved to Ramp tests and never went back).

  • I've been doing a ramp test to get an FTP number to plug into a 20 minute FTP test* (a couple of days later) in ERG mode. No need to worry about pacing, innit.

    * more specifically something similar to the wahoo 3dp test, which is Critical Power focused, and gives better numbers for W' and p_max to plug into Golden Cheetah. Or something.

  • See my question above re 20 min tests in erg mode. Doesn’t really make sense to me but I suppose useful for verification.
