A common mistake I see:
Athletes only wanting to test when they're already in great shape.
The ...purpose of a test isn't to boost your ego, it's to train at the right intensity for where you currently are & to better dial in how training (high & low) shifts the curve for you.
Cramping and electrolytes:
"runners who suffered [cramping] did not exhibit a greater degree of ...dehydration and electrolyte depletion after the marathon but displayed significantly higher concentrations of muscle damage biomarkers"

A reminder: The 20-minute FTP test is a shortcut. AND you HAVE to do the 5-minute "blow-out" test ...before your 20-minute test in order for the 20minute x .95=FTP to be close to what you actually can do for 60minutes. IF you really want to know your FTP, go for 60minutes.
