About The Consummate Athlete Threshold Training Plan

This is our best training to boost your threshold or FTP. It is a 2 month (9 week) training plan to improve your Threshold (FTP), your muscular endurance, your mental toughness for long efforts and your pacing.


Is This Threshold Boosting Training Plan For You?

Any athlete can use this plan to focus specifically on producing steady power for 20+ minutes to improve time trial, climbing or overall muscular endurance that can be then further developed to specific race goals.

This plan is best applied 2+ months from your competition season or ahead of a threshold oriented event like a TT or hill climb. It is also great for athletes who need a 'threshold boost' regardless of event.
