Good program to improve FTP
Quote | Reply
Looking for some good bike programs for improving FTP either something on TP or even on Zwift (I have read here that the Zwift one isn't very good). I have a Zwift subscription and TP Premium.

Cool used TR before with some really good results...maybe if it wasn't broke before don't fix it.

Hard to give a recommendation without knowing your starting point. Current FTP, CTL, etc.....

I have similar stats (slightly higher FTP, but comparable ctl).

The 4 week Zwift FTP booster worked ok for me. I saw about a 10watt FTP increase over 4 weeks,

More riding (if you can do it) is a simple way to get there. I plateaued my FTP for almost ten years, but this past year by just doing more volume (still including a variety of intervals, as in the past), I was able to see a 5% bump in FTP. This was with a pretty good FTP as my plateau.

Just bike a lot and go hard sometimes. Build mileage up gradually.

Keep it simple.

It isn’t as complex as magazines and many coaches want you to think.

If you’re base is not developed enough, you will plateau really quickly if you try one of those “ftp builder” program’s.
