What is/How to measure FTP?

Watts for 1 hour or racing is the normal response. Is this correct? What are some workouts to do to find this value?

powermeter

you can do a 20min all out effort and use 95% of that for your 1 hour FTP
.

Go hard for an hour in training or a race. 20 minute efforts will get you a baseline, but it is not as accurate.

60min TT during a race

or estimate it by doing a

5min blow out after a warm up
10min easy spinning
20min all out and take 95% of that
.

Get the book, Training and Racing with a Power Meter by Hunter Allen. All of your power questions will be answered. The folks at Saris suggested the book and it’s worth the investment.
