As I use a lactate measuring device every now and then during my intervals I get a good idea as to what my ftp is. But what I don’t understand is that I reach the same blood lactate (and RPE) when I’m doing 260w on flats as 315w on inclines.

Now I know it’s common with some discrepancies, but not this much? Does anyone know potential reasons for this and what I can do to even it out? (other than riding more on flats I guess)

For what it’s worth I’m primarily a runner, but I use my bike frequently in training (1-4 rides per week).
