So based on that, an estimate of your current FTP is 255W. If you're training based on an FTP of 280, it's set a good 10% too high. That is a very substantial difference that you would notice when doing aerobic length interval workouts (especially sweet spot/threshold with repeats), because it essentially puts your target power a full zone too high.
