Threshold workout power

Training With Power
1

Hi all,

I have a 2 x 20 threshold workout coming up next week. Is the power target based on the 20 min power result from the most recent FTP test or is it the actual FTP value (95% of the test)?

Hey @jamesstevens - it is based off of the FTP in your TP settings, thus it will be 95% of your 20 min power from your field test.

thanks @Lacey_Rivette that’s what I thought it was supposed to be but the threshold workout power target seemed like it was set at the actual power test result which I don’t think I can do twice! maybe a TP glitch…

BUT - very important to go as hard as you can - use your zones you’ve set in training peaks [z4 = 98-104%] as guidelines but what if your FTP has increased? Or you are on a good day?

Very important to ride by feel and go as hard as you can because you are not a robot.

All intervals zone 4, 5, & 6 should be performed this way
