Hi all,
I want to do an FTP building block.
Unfortunately, the new 8020 cycling plan seems to be couple of months away, so I looked on the other plans on the market, but I didn’t find one that is aligned with 8020 methodology (which I prefer and it’s working for me).
So, I came with a DIY FTP building plan.
My plan is to do 2 phases of work, both 6 weeks length (so, this will be 2 cycles of 3 weeks for each phase). 4 days of cycling per week, swim and run done easy as cross training. All weeks with 8020 intensity distribution.
For phase one, I was thinking to raise the time spent at the actual FTP (raise time to exhaustion – TTE). So, for interval sessions, I was thinking to work at 90-95% of FTP and gradually extend the time spent at this intensity.
M:
T: CCI progression – CCI4, CCI5, CCI6, CCI7
W: CRe or CF
T:
F: CT progression – CT2, CT4, CT5, CT7
S:
S: CF
For phase two, I want to raise the intensity and work above actual FTP, at approx. 105% of FTP.
M:
T: CSP progression – CSP4, CSP8, CSP11, CSP14
W: CRe or CF
T:
F: CAn progression – CAn1, CAn2, CAn3
S:
S: CF
Please critique my plan, any input will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Marius
