Quick question regarding the first bike session. It involves doing the intervals on a heart rate in Zone 2 or below at all times. However, the FTP test does not happen until day 6. I am assuming the best way to gauge is by perceived exertion. Which level would you recommend or is there a reference point I should aim for this first session?

Thanks.
