Calculating FTP
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:12 pm
I'm trying to calculate my FTP.
This morning I went out and did a ride which included a hard 20-minute effort.
I've cropped the file to reflect just that 20-minute period and have uploaded it here. Does my file look ok? Any obvious issues?
The average power seems to be 229. 229 x .95 = 217. Should that be my current FTP estimate? Or should I be looking at normalized power? If so, where do I find that?
And what if the weight and drag settings are off a bit? How critical are those to this number? They are as accurate as I can get them, as far as I know.
Thanks.
