The 8 week FTP/Anaerobic Threshold Plan will grow your FTP by training close to and at times slightly over your anaerobic threshold. This plan does not focus on anaerobic improvement, so is more suited for cyclists looking at improving FTP before increasing their anaerobic power and capacity.
Preceding Plan: This should be preceded by a base block/plan OR a VO2max plan
Next Plan: This plan should be followed by a specificity plan
Focus Area:
- FTP improvement
- Aerobic improvement
- Fat utilization improvement
Communication via whatsapp/sms is welcome through this plan
A power meter (smart trainer) and/or heart rate monitor necessary for compliance
On average we have seen an improvement of up to 15% on VO2max and anaerobic threshold through the completion of the 8 week Base Training Plan
