capeofstorms Posted June 17, 2012 Share Do you do it on the road and for how long? If on the road then how do you achieve an uninterrupted test? Would be keen to to hear from those in CT where they conduct their FTP without haaving to be stopped by traffic lights. Ideally you would then have to test under similar conditions every time you do it, to make the results consistent. If you do it on the IDT to you then use that FTP on the road.

milky4130 Posted June 17, 2012 Share I do mine up The Glen, from camps bay high school all the way to the Cablecar only problem is when u get to the top intersection, kloof nek/ kloof road u have to navigate across without wasting too much time alternatively swing to the left & go up to signal hill.

JasonW Posted June 20, 2012 Share The Glen / Signal hill route works best for me. The only downside is that you have to work hard on the short downhill section, but Normalised Power will generally take care of that. Other options are Ou Kappse Weg South side.

milky4130 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Do you do it on the road and for how long? YES - 2x20mins or 2x15mins if you're just starting out, someokes do 3x20mins or 2x30mins.If on the road then how do you achieve an uninterrupted test? Find a stretch of road where you can achive this, as mentioned before, most blokes do the Glen to Signal Hill or Glen to Cablecar. Problem with this is, the fitter you become the less time it takes to get up there so then you can either do 3x15mins or find another stretch of road. I've often considered Camps Bay Police Station to the top of Llundudno but never tried it. another option was the Argus but reverse from the Redhill Intesection to the top of Smitswinkel also never tried it yet. shade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJG Posted June 20, 2012 Share Functional Threshold Power (FTP). FTP is the power you would average with your highest possible effort during a 60-minute race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
