Joe -
Back i August you posted about doing a 4'(1') FTP test until you reach your LTHR. Have you done anymore analysis to determine whether this is as accurate as your 30' approach?
Thanks,
-Tim
Tim--I continue to use it with the athletes I coach and I'm pretty confident is is generally accurate. But the key is knowing LTHR accurately.
Hi joe
I read your article on fat burning and you said some start the test at a rer of .8 and some at .9. So what do you mean by start of the test.
thank you
Anon--Following warm up when the test begins at an intensity of 100 watts.
Thank you
On my test I did at 175w I was at .86 Where do you think that would be at 100w? Well Thank you for responding
cheers

anon--Really can't say from one data point. Sorry.
I did a 30' test and have my LTHR. Does LTHR change much throughout a season, specifically in-season vs off-season?
Thanks,
-Tim
Tim--LTHR changes with fatigue and loss of fitness, but not much. Within a long workout fatigue will lower it. When several weeks are taken off from training it will also drop some.
