Zwift olympic program and FTP builder
Quote | Reply
Anyone thinking of trying this or have thoughts on it? I figure the FTP builder should be good because its by a former pro (Marco Pinotti if I recall correctly), but also curious about thoughts on the Olympic distance program. Thanks all.

My wife is in the middle of the FTP builder. It looks similar to the TrainerRoad program which tends to be very well liked, so I'm guessing it will have a similar effect.

I've been disappointed with the quality and organization of the zwift structured workouts. I was a trainer road guy for several years and recently switched to zwift because its just more interesting. However I feel the trainer road product is much better at workout design and walking you through a progression week to week and month to month.

I’ve done the 12 week FTP builder 3 or 4 times. It starts out very easy and slowly starts tighting the screws. It’s manageable to do and the first month is easy in the off-season.

Ad a triathlete I tend to modify the program as needed. Some 30-60’ recovery rides when I’m wrecked and a 2 or 3 x 20’ @ FTP workout 10 days before a short course race.

I did the short FTP builder program, I did all the workouts, but not on the prescribed days (I did 3-4 rides a week, and then would pick up where I left off the neck week) in the off season, and by the end on the re-test, my FTP was up about 70 watts...
