well another anecdote on my end, so grain of salt, my buddy who helped me out with training to years ago (and it's the methodology i use still to this day) mentioned the 93% sans the 5 minute all out... also added in the possibility to make testing day a workout day which i usually do. Example in link below but after a PROPER 150w rest interval to get the breath back and chill, why not smash a 1 hr session of SST after?
Not always the case but i try for a SST workout any where from 20-1hr of work time after my test. It's surprising that the body can do it, and i partially think your body tricks itself, because SST feels REAL EASY (easier) after a full gas 20 minute effort.
