Zwift 20 Minute FTP Test | Pre 2024 Season 

Thanks, appreciate it

Appreciate it! Using the Zwift hub. Love it!

I only race triathlons at the moment

I think he paced it perfectly. If you feel like you’re going “all out” for an FTP test you’re doing something wrong. Typically the dread should begin around 12-15min.

i also find that within the first 5 minutes i can tell if the effort is gonna go well or not@@drewbuffington

I agree with you, there’s a lot of variables to take in though. As far as effort is concerned though, this is what I had on the day, no more. I haven’t cycled much this month so my legs just weren’t there to fire, and I’m coming off a torn knee post 3 months. Im looking for a realistic number to build my next training block with, and am definitely looking forward to a retest to earn a better ftp.

Agree. Two fans at least(maybe even a cold garage or outside if possible, you lose 5-10% just to overheating), nothing covering the upper body, just shorts with the straps tucked in and no talking, if you are able to say almost full sentences then you are taking it waaaay too easy. But still a good ftp test.

@cenasitnica Definitely a ton I could do to sustain a better FTP number. Current goal is just grabbing a baseline to get back to training, will retest in a month or so. My cardio exceeds my leg strength at the moment due to injury, this really was an honest effort, I just couldn’t push harder muscularly. I wish this felt as easy as it looks. Thanks for watching!
