Do I need to retest

Brenda Ross

 Did my bike test today.  Had some technical difficulties. Without going into details, was able to get  30minutes in before the computer died.  I think that taking the NP that I got for the 30minutes should be good enough right. No need to retest.  The NP for the 30minutes is just about where I thought I would come out anyway.  Any thoughts WMS?

Coach Rich

Good enough for training purposes!

Trent Prough

I am with Coach R. Stick with it another few weeks or just give it a little swag in the right direction. Some love to worship at the "alter of PRECISION", which is awesome, but most have variability in a good day and bad day. Lance said it best after Galveston - "Some days your a hammer and some days your a nail". For me that difference can be 5-10 watts. So, what is your real FTP??? Depends on the day and your commitment to turning yourself inside out for 60 minutes. Anything else is an approximation regardless of the protocol. Retest, don't retest, do whatever will give you the confidence that your training is on track. Just my perspective. Keep in mind I am very new and NOT Wicked smart.....

30' and go!!!
