The 28-Day Program To Skyrocket Your FTP This Year
Get Fast Podcast - Triathlon, Ironman & Cycling Coaching Advice - A podcast by TriVelo Coaching
Every sport has a key metric, golfers measure their handicap, marathon runners track their pace per km, and cyclists, we measure FTP. For some reason, FTP is still a divided topic among the triathlon and cycling world, but it shouldn’t be. FTP is undoubtedly one of the most useful metrics to use and worth basing your entire training program around. But as we’ll explain today, we have to be careful, as useful as it is, it’s just one metric, and doesn’t tell the full story. So in this episode, we’re going to reveal a 28-day program that will skyrocket your FTP, what you need to pay attention to, and the mistakes you need to avoid. Whether you're a pure cyclist or a triathlete improving your FTP is the goal, so this episode is for you. As always, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.
