Training Zones & Intensity

When threshold work stops moving FTP, use a short VO2max or peak-power block — 30-30s, 5x5s, sprints — then recover. Wearables decide if the interval day sur…

Climbing W/kg is a Power×Body goal: raise FTP, manage mass without a crash diet, and ride hills that look like the event. Wearables keep the hard days honest.

Raise FTP with sweet-spot and threshold density, a short VO2 dose, and a retest — not a 12% promise in six weeks. Garmin, Strava, Whoop, and intervals.icu ke…

80/20 cycling for riders who have the hours: most time easy, a little very hard. Seiler’s distribution research, plus Whoop/Garmin so the easy days stay easy.

Discover how sodium bicarbonate cycling supplementation can boost high-intensity training capacity and accelerate recovery for better long-term adaptation.

FTP plateaus when early gains slow and your training inputs stop matching the adaptation you need. Diagnose the cause, then make one clear correction.

The FTP Ceiling: Why Your Progress Has Stalled

Why Your Training Zones Are Lying to You

How to use heart rate zones for mitochondrial adaptation in cycling: practical Zone 2 rules, session templates, and adaptive coaching tips.

If your FTP is falling after 35, these five fixable causes help you protect threshold power and rebuild performance with better training decisions.

A concise recap of five fixable reasons cyclists lose power with age, plus a practical two-week reset.

Understand cycling power zones, when to use each one, and how to sequence them in a realistic week.

A physiology-first guide to heart rate zones and mitochondrial adaptation for cyclists.

A practical guide to understanding tested FTP and estimated FTP in your N+One performance charts.

Build aerobic durability with clear Zone 2 targets, session structure, and execution cues.

A decisive framework for choosing threshold or sweet spot based on readiness, fatigue, and event timeline.

FTP is a snapshot; durability is the goal. Build aerobic base, add intensity and race sims, hone fueling and recovery, plus strength to sustain race power.

Tight on time? Sweet spot is the hard-but-repeatable work. Use how recovered you feel (and yesterday's load) to decide SST vs rest vs something harder — then ride that one session.

Learn how cyclists can use VO2max intervals to raise the aerobic ceiling, structure a practical block, and manage fatigue with clear recovery checks.
