During recovery from an injury, it's crucial to focus on recovery rather than training and to listen to your body's healing process. When preparing for an Everesting challenge, pacing and nutrition are key factors to consider, and it's important to test your pacing and bike setup in advance. Maintaining aerobic fitness and gradually increasing intensity can help in preparing for an Everesting attempt. Specificity in training is important for all types of racing, and tailoring your training to the demands of the event is crucial for success.   Titles Recovering from Injury: Focus on Recovery Determining FTP: Ramp Test vs. 20-Minute Test   Sound Bites "The only way to get an accurate FTP is to do a 60-minute power test."
