I'm doing a half ironman on Sunday and I've been following a mid volume 70.3 plan for 4.5 weeks. I haven't retested my FTP in that time because I was improving and finding the workouts challenging.
I'm pretty sure I have improved my FTP. Question is when should I retest? Friday would fit best with my schedule after resting up earlier in the week but is it too close to the event?
Would an FTP test in race negatively affect my race? Or would having a new FTP figure to work off provide more benefit?
Thanks
