If I remember it’s 20 mins easy between efforts at a very low power to recover. If you weren’t ready or not enough fuel onboard for final effort I’d redo do it and then get it recalculated.
It seems to me that you are very glycolytic (your body tends to prefer carbs over fat).
If you wan’t to be able to use more fat for fuel, you will have to do a lot of long, easy (really) riding. This can be mixed up with high intensity training like Vo2Max and sprinting, but sweetspot and treshold are less beneficial.
→ I would recommend to take a polarised approach to your training

Isn’t training to lower vlamax supposed to be threshold -Sweetspot - low cadence etc?
IIRC, the AT value for INSYNCD is based on stable clearing of lactate - where your body is able to clear exactly as much lactate as your muscles produce. So it’s different than other FTPs, which are often intended to estimate the power you can generate for only an hour.
we used INSCYD a couple years ago on 10 athletes and the threshold were almost all very low. I think mine was like 50w off as well. Quite odd. Not sure what their algo does but it really messes it up; kinda shocked to see this still happening. Maybe the person who ran the test put the data in incorrectly?
either way, you know what you know and wouldn’t let one bad test dissuade you from the other information that you have at your fingertips.
train on!
