Tonight’s plan was Jepson. But I fancied more of a challenge so did Prater and added 30m on with some endurance. Passed the test. If my FTP is set too high Prater will let me know.
Agree. Over/unders are what I use to gauge whether my number is "right".
Point in case, started SSB MV1 a few weeks back and Reinstein felt a bit too hard so bumped FTP down by 10w, which I think will work better. I expected to do this, as I tend to manage OK with the Ramp Test's VO2max stage plus I'd been doing HIIT work in the weeks prior to the test, so was really on form for top end work, leading to a high number.
For all the limitations of TR's one-dimensional ramp test, it's still useful to me as a gauge due to its practicality and "doability", and thus much more preferable for me than, say, Sufferfest's 4DP method, which I'm never ever ever willingly going to put myself through unless someone pays me very large truckfuls of cash, and even then...
