About this workout

The 8-minute test is a classic way to gauge your FTP, featuring two brutal efforts at 115% FTP with solid recoveries in between. This test is perfect for those looking to fine-tune their performance metrics and is an excellent alternative to the ramp test or the 20-minute FTP test for determining your power ceiling.
