Increase your Functional Threshold Power with 8 Weeks of Highly Effective and Proven Training!

Few things motivate a cyclist more than seeing clear progress — especially when it shows up as new power records. It’s proof your training is working and a confidence boost that drives you forward.

Training plan description: The training plan begins with a recommended 20-minute power test (protocol included). You’ll then complete two blocks of training. Each block is 3 weeks in duration followed by an easier week. Block one includes lower threshold and muscular endurance work. In block two the intensity increases with supra threshold and VO2 max intervals plus a "secret" session to bring on even more gains! The final week is a recovery week with power testing (5 and 20 minute) scheduled. Weekends remain flexible for group rides, social endurance rides, or races.

This plan is ideal for cyclists training 8–10 hours per week who want fast, focused FTP gains. Before starting, you should have a solid base with 10–12 weeks of consistent training at a minimum of 5 hours per week.

Testimonial: "I completed your "gain 20-30 watts in 8 weeks" plan last year as I was stepping up my training volume - it worked well for me and I did gain 20w in FTP so you have a happy customer here!" - - Jacob S
