I was trying to do 4 x 5m VO2Max intervals, target 230-260w (based on my spring era 217-248w goal range, added 12-13w). I was struggling to hold 250w, and most of my efforts were in the 235w range....

My Cannondale System Six was rock solid. The 675g total weight SRM crankset+computer was a nice benefit of the BB30 (my previous Campy alum arms + English BB was like 950g and no power meter).

I like the BB30 concept but honestly it's a pain. The Shimano BB seems simple, as does GXP etc, but the current Shimano crank/rings have been lauded as the best. With that the Pioneer looks like a...

Definitely a fast twitcher and I knew that doing my 20 min tests. It would take me a minute or two to get into the aerobic threshold groove - I could use big gears to delay the fatigue. My sustained...

Thanks, the 90% makes sense. 220w is really 208w then. Well it can't get much worse than that, and it makes sense that I struggle if I'm over 200w avg in an hour crit. Also it gives me a reasonable...

I don't know but I agreed to participate in a study and part of the protocol is doing the 5 min before the 20. My understanding is that the 5 min gets some non-aerobic stuff used up (stores in the...

My 220w FTP number was based on not doing the 5 min pre-test effort. Should be interesting to see what happens with my FTP number.

Thanks. Just downloading stuff now, 241w@5m and I was mentally fried. I thought for sure I could do 280w but had to keep soft pedaling.

Based on 220w I should target 265w on the high level. Will...

Okay so I am bad at search and Google.

For 40-20s what %FTP are you supposed to do? I read 110% VO2 and "easy" but based on watts what is that? 10% over FTP? To me that seems really low.

I just...

I haven't broken 270 ever for 20 min. Recently I did 220-225w and that seems about right.
