Great question came through the comments:

I did 5x4 minutes and did my first at 133% and could only do the rest at 110%. is that ok? Or should I try and average the same power?

In this video, we'll talk about:

1. one off efforts

2. repeatability and accumulating time at vo2max

3. When to PR

4. Incorrect FTP detected?

one off efforts….good for KOMs, hill climbs, track events, but that is probably not why you’re doing this workout

5 x 4 repeatability for road race, gran fondo, etc

When to PR?

133%….is FTP set correctly?

Repeat wattage a bit higher, this may take time

Also use HR to see f you’re working vo2 with lower power

Muscular component of pushing big watts

PFA for athlete 3x3, never spending quality time via HR or power
