Finally managed to do an FTP test. Last one was back at the start of the year. I keep starting them but bail out after about 12 minutes.
Finally completed it. An increase of 14 w from start of year but a measly 1w improvement on my best ever from last year. Don’t want the pain of doing one of them again any time soon!

You won’t have to - try Xert 
Do you race?
I’m guessing he’s not
It never hurts any less just for a shorter amount of time…hopefully.
Yes I do race but only tt’s nowadays. Under 21 min for a 10 and under 55 for 25
I’m a cheap skate, don’t want to pay for any more training protocol pages!
Well, then your FTP pain is surprising - if you do these TT’s, they are all pain and for a longer duration…

Some FTP tests are easier than others though - I’m presuming it was the 20 min test if you bailed after 12 mins.
Maybe try doing a ramp test instead?
