Want to start a discussion about the sentence at the top „FTP is the anaerobic threshold“. My sports doctor said my FTP is at 320W.
But if I try to google that its not that easy to find out.
Is that really true?

I think they meant aerobic threshold. FTP in cycling usually refers to 60 min power. No way you can hold your anaerobic threshold for 60m.
How did he even guess lt2. It never stabilized for beforehand lol

360W and 130bpm don’t add up, probably the measurement or the warm up to deplete short storage was too short.
Why is there an AI watermark in that image?
Anaerobic threshold ≈ lt2
Aerobic threshold ≈ lt1
According to your lactate graph, “aerobic threshold” is marked at lt1 and “anaerobic” at lt2, so your ftp is around 320.
Ftp is rough approximation of mlss, and whole “1hr max effort power” thing is kinda controversial (trained riders can hold it for longer times than noobs so it’s useless without concept of time to exertion – tte), so you can use this zones for your training process for sure.
by the way – I’m not looking for praise here, but how do I stand with the results? Sure I`m not in local cycling club, making races and so on – but I`m over 40 and can’t assess if it’s good or not. But all is in relation to yourself. I want to be come better 🙂 The doctor said its good and blaaa blaaa, but not sure if he just told me that cause of coming back in the future 🤭
I`m satisfied with my FTP and 400W for 3min ok, but where I want to work mainly on is that my body consuming massively carbs from 80W on 🥲
