how should the average cyclist estimate than? I have used 20 min TR FTP test at 95% power for a couple years. Sure I feel it's overestimating a bit but it at least gives me a baseline test to keep constant. If it's 3% off I am not sweating it.To me, it doesn't make a hill of beans how I estimate it. It matters only that the %-age I utilize for pacing - works for ME.
I couldn't care less what someone else thinks about the way I test. If it's possible, I care even less about how someone else does it.
