In reply to kevin stephens:
Zwift -
FTP test seem fine:
- 60 min test
- 20 min test (95% of av power)
- Ramp test (75% of max 1 min power)
All seem fine.
Training programmes:
They don’t quite hit the spot and obviously aren’t tailored to individuals. FTP booster is too intense. FTP builder doesn’t quite have enough intensity l. There are others but they seem quite focused on specific disciplines.
All are based on % of FTP
Having said that you can put your own training programmes in.
I think it depends on the level you’re operating at and how sophisticated you want your training to be. My FTP (prior to the offseason) was pretty respectable (in my opinion - 320 @ 70kg) and I’ve always just switched between the FTP builder then the FTP booster, riding outside at the weekend. Builds a base then adds in intensity.
I only use zwift so not sure about alternatives.
