mFTP
Modelled functional threshold estimate. It is checked against training and testing and is not a direct lactate-threshold measurement.
Power profile
WKO5 analysis for cyclists.
I use the WKO5 power-duration model to assess more than a single FTP number. I connect mFTP, TTE, FRC, Pmax and changes in the power-duration curve with training history, fatigue, race goals and lactate-test results.
Part of your coaching
Not a one-off report — a decision-making tool.
A single FTP value does not describe the whole athlete. I assess performance across durations, the effect of fatigue and how key metrics change throughout the coaching process.
My approach
What I assess before planning a block.
Before planning a block I review the power-duration curve, short-duration, anaerobic and aerobic power, mFTP, TTE, FRC and Pmax. I also consider heart rate, cadence, perceived effort, power retention under fatigue and changes in recovery.
The same FTP does not mean the same training. I relate your data to your goals, race demands and available time, developing the qualities that limit performance while maintaining your strengths.
How lactate testing complements the analysisTTE
Modelled time to exhaustion at mFTP. Actual sustainable duration depends on conditions and fitness and is also assessed practically.
FRC
Modelled work capacity above mFTP. It is not a direct laboratory measurement of anaerobic energy stores.
Pmax
Modelled maximal-power estimate used to describe sprint characteristics; it is not identical to a one-second personal best.
Durability
Is your performance still available late in a race?
I compare power profiles fresh vs fatigued, power/heart-rate response during long rides, short- and long-duration power after accumulated work and adjust training priorities accordingly.
