Field Test "Do-Over" result

I did it. Completed the full indoor test. (Remember Saturday's attempt was aborted)
I'm happy to report that I added 12 watts to my functional threshold, relative to the last indoor field test I did on Jan 9th. When you train hard and see measurable improvement, it really fires you up.

what is your margin of error?

statistically what does 12 watts mean?

what is the variance?

you want science?

you can't HANDLE science.

You want to USE science?

USE science, don't just use numbers.

Is 12 a meaningful difference indoors?

IS it from a 1-2 PSI difference in your tires on the trainer?

Is it from a 2-4°F difference in ambient temperature?

Is it from a 1-2 hour extra sleep differential over the last 3 days?

Is it due to eating better the 24 hours leading up to the test?

Is it due to being better hydrated?

better music?

better mentality?

or

is it the legs...

12 watts.

out of something around 300.

what % increase is that?

You say you want to use the science. But. Are you actually using science?

(hard tough questions - you may know the answers to them all - i'm still just trying to help you understand why i feel these are rather pointless toys)
