Fant en spennende artikkel som bygger på noe av de samme prinsippene som jeg følger:
"How to Improve Functional Threshold Power
According to Hunter Allen, co-author of Training and Racing with a Power Meter, a cyclist should begin by establishing a solid foundation of training to include both tempo rides at 80-88% of FTP and “sweet spot” rides with intervals at 88-93% of your FTP over 6-8 weeks. He also recommends doing at least one long ride on the weekend of 4-6 hours in duration as a means of stressing the aerobic system and building fitness. Then, an athlete seeking to improve cycling performance can begin to do more interval work at 100% to 105% of FTP as a means of further improving sustainable power output.
By working on improving your FTP, an experienced cyclist could expect to make gains in FTP ranging from 3% to 10% on a year over year basis. With those gains in FTP comes an improvement in cycling performance. It’s hard work, and gains do not come easily, especially for aging cyclists fighting inevitable declines in V02max. But by staying focused on improving your FTP, you can become a stronger and faster cyclist."
