[quote=Anonymous]I did the FTP test early on, but I had absolutely no idea how hard I was supposed to go and my number was too low.  (But still higher than the ridiculous number they calculated for me based on my age and measurements)

If you don't want to do a test, look at your PRs and find your highest average output from any ride that's at least 20 minutes.  In the settings, you can use that number to set your Power Zones manually.  That's what I ultimately did but I think my zones are still a little low. I just ride one zone higher if I'm doing an endurance ride.

If you want to try a test, I would take the 10 minute warm up, start the ride at an output that matches that highest average output from a PR, and maybe slowly build on it over the 20 minutes.  (I need to do this and actually not quit 10 minutes in)

I've been hesitant to do the whole program. I'm on the bike 6 days/week, but I usually prefer to spend 60 to 75 minutes per day and it doesn't quite work with the schedule.
