“Feels great to break power records!”

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 weeks of threshold and muscular endurance work, followed by two weeks of high-intensity VO2 max and above-threshold intervals. Weekends remain flexible for group rides, social endurance rides, or races. Week 5 is a recovery week with a follow-up power test to track your improvements.

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’m a masters racer (age 52). I used the 4-week FTP plan after my base period and made the podium twice in my first four races. I repeated it before a stage race — cut 30 seconds off my TT, placed third in the RR, and made the GC podium. The plan works! Thanks!" — Jeff P
