Sue C Lead-up to Bike Test Question

Coaches,

So Monday (12/2) is the start of Nov OS Week 6 (Advanced).  Work/travel schedules will mean I will miss most of the bike workouts (or have to do them on a spin bike at a hotel) for Week 7.  So, I am planning on doing the Bike Test this coming Saturday (12/7) rather than go a full week w/o strong biking before the test.  Plus, I'm feeling ready to test.  I'm planning on the OSweek 6 Tuesday Bike FTP.  But, is it more advantageous on Thursday to do the Thursday  Bike (more VO2) or the Saturday (more ftp) Bike?  My weakness would be the ftp rather than VO2.

Maybe I've answered my question.    thoughts?

Thanks!

Sue

    @Sue -- Howzit!!?? Great to hear from you! I think that given you want to test on Sat, that drives the train. Friday is OFF, and Thursday should be something short like 2 x 8' at goal FTP with 4' rest after each. The rest of this week is the same!!! Good luck & Please keep me posted!

    Hey Coach P - thanks for the guidance!  Great VO2 bump 165 to 191 and a less on the FTP 155 to 167 - but I'll take it!  sue
