Ok, well there's only one watt bike in my club, so that's not a problem as such.
I'm training for an ironman, so distance is 112 miles.
My understanding is th e3 minute test is worth doing fresh, and hopefully that will limit my ability to go anaerobic for much time within the 20 minute test when i do that 10 minutes later...
I will try a ramp test next week...
Essentially i think i want to find out what my FTP then apply a formula to that to work out what output i should be aiming for a 100 mile TT and then another reduction for 112 miles with a marathon to do afterwards...
At that point I guess I will make a jdgement about buying a power meter and work out if I can get away with buying one without my wife noticing!
