How to estimate my FTP if I do not know it
FTP and zones
If you do not know your FTP, you can start with a cautious estimate and adjust later.
Recommended steps
- If you have power history, use a reasonable recent value.
- If you do not have data, start conservatively.
- Observe whether workouts feel impossible or too easy.
- Adjust FTP gradually, not with huge jumps.
- Do a test if you want a more accurate reference.
- Do not let the search for the perfect FTP stop you from starting.
