...it depends. On a lot. Also, you're going about this backwards. You can control the input, not the output. Focus on that. Focus on training to hold the best 5hr power that you can, not necessarily FTP

Took me 2.34 watts/kg to hit that bike time on that course.

Depends on.... the wind. Honestly this is the biggest factor as long as u can stay aero for 5hrs.
I’m 5’9 138 and went 5:12 w 5 min + mechanical stop. 156np

Also remember that you can easily have a 30w difference between a good aero and bad aero position
So if you are riding at 70% of FTP, that means you could need 42more watts on your FTP.

Lots of variable. With a similar weight I needed 180watts for 5:20.

If my goal is to go 5-5:20 bike at IMAZ, what should my FTP / NP be (obviously presuming the conditions are mellow). Thanks in advance. Ps - 163 lbs. and 6 ft.
