Stats
Sample Day 1
This fitness test helps you to set your power or heart rate thresholds for Training Peaks.
Warm Up:
12 mins in Z2,
5 x (15 secs in Z4 + 45 secs easy in Z2).
Main Set:
20 mins maximal steady state time trial. Go as hard as you can sustain for 20-minutes.
Warm Down:
5 mins in Z2.
Note: Alternatively, if you have a bike training device with its own "FTP" test protocol, you could use that instead.
TIP: Have a fan and/or air conditioning, so that heat stress is not a limiting factor for this test.

This fitness test helps you to set your pace and heart rate training zones and thresholds for Training Peaks.
Warm Up:
5 mins in Z2 (easy/steady),
4 x (30 secs accelerating from Z2 to Z4 + 30 secs recoveries in Z1).
Main Set:
Run for 30 mins at the fastest pace you can maintain for the duration. Record your average pace and ideally average heart rate too.
