He used to say this before we had a better, easy to use tool. 60 min CP does not = FTP. It was an approximation. Using the whole power/duration curve, we can estimate closer.
FTP = The highest power a rider can maintain in a quasi-steady-state without fatiguing. Nothing here about one hour.
Well he said this on this forum the other day. He still thinks the best way to ' estimate ' FTP is to take the average power during a TT of approx an hour. By ' we ' who do you mean?
