The name Functional Threshold Testing (FTP) does not strike fear in the hearts of those outside of the endurance world but for me and others I know this is scary as it involves a lot of pain.
Earlier this week I did a step test using my known Lactate Threshold Heart Rate numbers to predict what my threshold is in terms of lactate accumulation. Now tomorrow I am putting that to the test with Any Coggans threshold testing protocol.
WU:5min Z1-2
3x(1min on with 1min off) Z5
5min Z1
5min Z5
10min Z1
TT:20min all out effort TT
CD:10min
You take 95% of the average output of the 20min effort and you have your FTP.
I will then use this number during the offseason to get faster and work on my mental toughness by doing long interval after long interval at this level.
We will see how it goes.
