Having an accurate functional threshold power is an important metric for training and racing on the bike, but just how exactly do you calculate it? If you're lucky enough to have a power meter on your bike or turbo trainer you can perform a few common tests. In this video Heather and Mark both do a 20 minute FTP test and a ramp test to compare their power numbers and determine which they prefer. Mark also speaks to Dr Stephen Faulkner, a celebrated exercise physiologist for more information.
