Best practices for FTP test frequency and how to schedule them

Hi team/colleagues,

I would like to know the recommended frequency for taking an FTP test (threshold test) within the Athletica framework.

Specifically:

  1. Frequency: How often is it best to perform a formal FTP test (e.g., every 6–8 weeks vs. 12+ weeks) without over-testing or interfering with prescribed training blocks?

  2. Scheduling: What is the best way to manually add or structure a “Test Week” / FTP test into my Athletica calendar so that the algorithm adjusts future training targets and zones properly?

Thanks for your guidance!
