Hi there! Last week I did the Half Monthy test, so I am now training with new values for my MAP and FTP. However, for NMP and AC I am still using the old values from the 4DP test I did 6 months ago. I would like to have these updated as well… is there a way to test these 2 metrics without having to do the Full 4DP test? Or should I just suck it up and go for the Full Monthy again to test these?
Hey Max,
Unfortunately we haven’t got a test for just the AC and NM numbers. You can always adjust these manually in setting however for the most accurate numbers I recommend Full Frontal. Having done HM recently this will help you for pacing and maintaining those consistent numbers on your FF.
Make sure to do primers the day before…
This article suggests you could use the omnium as a test for AC and obviously you could just run the first section of full frontal and stop after the sprints…
Admittedly, I’ve done this myself. I did a Half Monty for the MAP and FTP, then just the NM sections of FF. For AC, I manually interpolated between the MAP and NM changes.
Of course, nothing beats FF for the most accurate numbers (even for MAP and FTP), but I pace very badly and am not really used to level mode. Some day though…
Thanks guys! I think I will do Omnium and the sprints later this week to have a quick fix and then go for FF again in a couple of weeks
