Anyone been stuck on the same FTP year over and actually break through to increase their power? I know the body has its limits, but maxing out on 7hr bike weeks with triathlon training, i have struggled to increase FTP. Trainer road has me at 260ish give or take so im not exactly my name-sake but surely i have more in me. I have done everything from v02 to sweetspot etc millions of times over. I have also dug myself into holes trying. Now im not a bad cyclist despite the power number and tend to be front pack in terms of bike splits, but no where near the peaky top end folk around here.
Is there merit in taking an offseason of, say, an 8 week block of no run/swim and just belt out 12hr weeks on the bike? I hear conflicting stuff with offseason focused plans?
