What Happens If You Do An FTP Test Every Day For A Week? | Updated

Clock00:00, Saturday 16th May 2020

Ever wondered what it's like to do a 20-minute all-out cycling fitness test? How about seven in a week? Well, fortunately, Jeremy has tried it so you don't have to! Follow along as he shows us just how hard this is, as well as sharing some helpful training and recovery tips along the way!

Last weekend, we released the original video of Jeremy finding out what would happen if he did an FTP test on his bike every day for a week. It was a huge edit, with hours of footage and tonnes of data to work through and, when we launched the video, it was clear from your feedback that we'd missed the mark. So, after reading through all of your comments, we've re-edited the video to do Jeremy's super-human effort justice. Enjoy!
