Hi guys, I did the 2x10 min Threshold ((Full Gas) pre test efforts today and the first effort was 323w and after 5 mins recover the second effort was 308w. The average wattage for the full 25 mins (including the recovery) was 286w, so am I right in thinking that this is the number I should shoot for in the first couple of minutes of my test? (My current FTP is 255w if that has any bearing)
Many thanks
Neil

You are correct sir @neilbond - you must have listened to the 20 minute field test podcast 
So pace yourself at 286w for the first 2 minutes, let the effort rise and then after that goes as hard as you can by feel. I am a glass half full coach so by going as hard as you can you may surprise yourself .
But your 2 x 10 watts has put you in the ballpark - good luck!
