Today's video provides an overview of a full 1-hour functional threshold power test on an indoor trainer, mine being the Wahoo Kickr.

The FTP test is commonly used by road cyclists to determine their one hour power, which can then be utilised to establish training zones and thus train more effectively with power and heart rate.

After taking the BMC Teammachine out onto the road last week and completing the full 1 hour FTP test outdoors, I decided to bring the test indoors, putting the BMC on the wahoo kickr and riding for as hard as I could for 1 hour.

In this cycling test, I cover 4 main points.
