Why the 20min field test rules supreme, and how to do it

Why the 20min field test rules supreme, and how to do it

How do you know what your training zones are? And how do you know if you are improving? By FTP testing, of course!

At FasCat, we have used all types of methods to test FTP over the years, including using various labratory equipment. After more than 20 years and thousands of athletes tested, we are big believers in the 20-minute field test.

Doing the 20-minute test outside or on a trainer is simple and repeatable, giving you the actionable data you need to configure your training and measure your progress.

In this podcast, FasCat Founder Frank Overton explains:

  • how you should do the test
  • how often you should do the test
  • pitfalls to watch out for
  • how to analyze your results from the test

All you need, Frank says, is a "power meter and head full of motivation."
