ricochet_rabbit Posted September 3, 2012 Share Anyone care to share where they do their FTP testing up in JHB/Gauteng? try the cadence centre in fourways, for a fee you can probably do it on one of their trainers or sign up for a training course and this will be your first session to get your Tempo, Sweet spot, threshold, VO2Max and Anaerobic power values.

Flemish Lion Posted September 3, 2012 Share Two options: 1) Cradle route, from Toadburry hill upwards and through the Cradle, not ideal with the bumps, circles and down sections. 2) Robert Broom, start at the Sterkfontein caves intersection and up Protea Ridge where the D2D finished, you only have to get accross one stop street. bmw1za and wonduhboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmw1za Posted August 21, 2013 Share Did My test yesterday : Seems that the Sterkfonftein Caves up Van Riebeek (D2D finish) is norm for JHB. I weigh 95kgs(dont laugh) , Ave power output was 262W. Is this then the "actual" reading used for calculating power zones . So now what ? (lol) Rotor Power Cranks with Garmin 810 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to take that 262 * 0.85 is 222w your FTP Or x .095 I think I am on the right track Edited August 21, 2013 by Santa C bmw1za 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have a ballpark for workouts, as well as calculating training stress score. bmw1za 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenSmith Posted April 22, 2014 Share Always seems to be just interest in "Power training". HR is neglected to the point of non existence, everyone seems to think it does not matter, but it is just as (and in some cases more) important than power... You should be doing your testing for HR as much as you are for pwr. Hijack off. Edited April 22, 2014 by DarrenSmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
