Indoor vs Outdoor Power
I know that are a lot of variables that come into play, but (assuming all things equal) is there a formula that will convert indoor power test numbers to outdoor race execution?

The bottom four of the first set of bullets.
To quote Coach Rich, when you have been doing FTP intervals using a power meter for a few years, you end up having a pretty good idea what your current FTP is.
Also with experience (after a few years of IM/HIM training), you learn what a "good" Race Rehearsal feels like — ie, do I need to back off the power a bit, or can I bump up the power a bit etc?
