Plan Description
The FTP Builder Training Plan - Intermediate
- 10-week plan - 6-8 hours per week total training time (Max volume in a week 7hr 54mins).
- This plan is inclusive of a testing week before and after - this allows for accurate measuring of improvement.
- Testing protocols include a 20-minute test + Endurance baseline test.
- A power meter and HR monitor are recommended for this plan. At least one is a necessity.
This plan is perfect for anyone looking to gain cycling fitness in the 20-minute to 1-hour power range and improve endurance + energy efficiency. Like all our programs, this training plan is science-based and incorporates weekly progressive overload.
Using a mixture of Z2 and sub-threshold training sessions, the benefits of this plan are:
- Increased lactate threshold (LT1) - ride at a higher intensity with reduced lactate accumulation, delaying the onset of fatigue and enhancing overall endurance performance.
- Increased FTP - Improve your maximum 1-hr power output + Watts per kg (W/kg).
- Increased endurance - Improve energy efficiency by increasing your ability to use fat as a fuel source and sustain higher power output for longer periods.
