Hi all,
I'm just wrapping up my second season of triathlon. This year, I followed the training peaks virtual coach fairly closely and I saw huge improvements in all disciplines. Throughout the year, I saw my performance on graded exercise tests improve, and my race times are in another realm than they were last year. The only thing that I haven't been able to do this season was improve my FTP. When I tested back in December, it was 210W, and, every time I've tested since, it's been 210W (fwiw, I'm 5'5" and average 57kg). I've tried searching, but I haven't found any advice that I can figure out how to apply, so, I wanted to ask this question: at what point of the season should I be looking to improve my FTP, and does anyone have any good workouts/strategies for doing so? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
