Watch me take on my first FTP test! If you are thinking about doing your first FTP test then there is loads of information in this video to help you on your way.
Be prepared for some serious effort though, it is by no means easy to complete an FTP test. Make sure you have all the correct fuel and take it seriously.
In total the FTP duration is 1 hour 15 mins on Zwift, much longer than I expected, but I can see why now, having completed the test.
Take care peeps… ride safe 👍🏽

Great effort on the Turbo 💪💪. 3.5W/kg is a good level /starting point, a structured training plan (on Zwift, Sufferfest ect) would be interesting to see the percentage improvement over 4-8 weeks......but ultimately enjoying Cycling is priority 1 no matter what level you are 👍

Hey Scott, thanks for the tips! I think I will be investing in a smart trainer at some point, I may wait until next winter though, let's see what happens. I'm intrigued to see the improvement as well from both structured and unstructured training. "but ultimately enjoying Cycling is priority 1 no matter what level you are" - What a great statement!! 👌🏾

Solid effort! I did my FTP Bank Holiday Monday and got 235W, I could feel your lungs burning at the end.

Good effort, is standing allowed on an ftp then? Honest Q, i thought we had to stay seated which kills me ;)

@salishseacycling 2 жыл бұрын

Great work but the test is supposed to be seated the whole time. Someone else on the thread said “sited” but I think they meant seated. Either way, it was a great effort.

Will you be getting a smart trainer? And become a Zwifter?

@JourdainColeman 3 жыл бұрын

You know what Rob, I may do just that hahaha. I can see myself getting into Zwift for sure. I may wait until next winter thought. Are you a keen Zwifter?

@Cycle_Circle 3 жыл бұрын

Isn’t the FTP test meant to be sited at all time ? That’s what I heard. Good efforts regardless. Well done

@JourdainColeman 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Ramon, thanks for commenting. To be honest this was my first time so I have no idea if your FTP should be on screen the whole time. It would make sense if it was 👍🏽 Cheers for the support. Safe riding, friend
