Good evening all
I completed my 20Min FTP test and I am a bit lost filling in the Excel page provided by FasCat.
I am sorry for this question I am learning now that I am a newbie cycling with numbers
So I found where is my FTP set 185W, but also I see the 20 min Peak Performance on this specific ride is 191W. I am not sure which is the correct number to insert as an FTP on the file.
I see that the table is changing accordingly on the excel sheet, but again maybe I am completely wrong direction.
I made a mistake by entering some values now I do not know anymore what is the correct values for the Power.
If they incorrect I know I will train with the incorrect power levels
Many thanks to all for your help
Best Regards
Lucsi
So you need to take 5% of your max 20 minute effort. If your max 20 minute power was 191 watts your FTP should be set at 181 watts. We take 5% off your peak 20 minutes as FTP is power you should be able to sustain for a full 60 minutes.
I went ahead and put your FTP into the spreadsheet and this is what your outputs should be.

We are happy to help Lucsi! I am also happy your son is willing to help you out where we don’t have transcripts.
Note: Most of our training tips that are popular also have a youtube video attached. When you open those you can turn on the cc captioning to read everything.
For example, here is how to do that for the training tip that @Jake linked above
