Taking my FTP test today as the kick off to my summer fitness. 16 weeks of Sweet Spot will be a big chunk of the prep.
On the trainer today with 30 mph winds gusting to 60 outside. It would be a good day to go KOM hunting, one direction. Zwift it is.
Wish me luck. Going to see if I can go deeper than I have for a while.
Good LUCK! Bring 20 of your best minutes to the test and a ‘dump truck of motivation’.
These tip may be helpful too:
Test went great. I did a 20 minute test 4 weeks ago and didn’t pace well. This time I was able to steady power and not blow up. FTP up from 206 to 223 from some better testing, Z2 rides and a weekly intensity ride. I’m excited to see what structure brings over the next few weeks.
Congratulations.! That’s a good ftp bump. When I started the 16 week ss plan my ftp only increased by 4 watts. I just recently did my 2nd ftp test and it increased from 204 to 217. Hoping to see another increase when I perform my last test in a few weeks
Nice job! Doing mine tonight! First one…ever! And I’ve been cycling for yearrrrs. Should be fun! 
It’s only 20 min of hard work. You’ll kill it!
