Elite athletes (e.g. Cat 1 to Professional level) should use 20W/min, Non-elite men use 25W/min," <br /><br />Wouldn't non-elite men use a smaller step given the probable lower MAP level, or is the thought that non-elite men would fatigue sooner once over FTP, and therefore an accurate MAP would not be determined?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35788819.post-64308941972762457132009-11-02T17:53:22.494+11:002009-11-02T17:53:22.494+11:00Hi Charles

I wish you all the best in your recovery. <BR/><BR/>One quick question, can you provide some info on your powertap / track experience? I use a PT on the road and want to build one for my track bike, but seem to have a lot of mixed info via the web. <BR/><BR/>Any help would be apprciated.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156554899061289329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35788819.post-10705636125784975992007-01-09T07:49:00.000+11:002007-01-09T07:49:00.000+11:00Warm up is typically pretty gentle, starting in (C...Warm up is typically pretty gentle, starting in (Coggan) L1 and moving into L2 after a few minutes, gradually ramping up as I go.

Usually I'll do the 16km TT earlier in same week, 2 or 3 days before.<br /><br />AlexAlex Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698332397074026424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35788819.post-87380245328452172892006-12-12T07:15:00.000+11:002006-12-12T07:15:00.000+11:00nice progress Alex.

I've done plenty of maximal 20/30 MP tests and one full-on 60MP test this fall (North America) so I have a very good handle on my current FTP.<br />Well all tests have been done indoors on the CT so it's *possible* I could do better outdoors in real race<br /><br />In the past, I've done 2-3 MAP tests and found my FTP was spot-on the mid-range of 75% of MAP. Maybe I'll try one soon and find out.<br /><br />I think the only thing I disliked about the MAP test is that I felt the session wasn't good training compared to say a full-on 30MP test indoors. <br /><br />Do you rest more than usual for the MAP test or just after a normal rest or easy day?<br /><br />rickrmurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173095939504389470noreply@blogger.com
