Balancing Outside Rides with TR Workouts for Lower FTP People

Absolutely, this is something I wanted to get across in my post. As well as pointing out that if FTP were correct then a 1.5hr ride at a consistent max effort would be 150*.

Even taking outside inflation into account, it would still be a really taxing ride and, if unstructured, isn’t likely to be as beneficial as a TR workout.

*plenty of caveats here.
