2 Week Post-Protocol Gains: 20km TT Performance

  • Power: +6%
  • Time: -4%

2 Week Post-Protocol Gains: General Performance

  • PPO: +7%
  • VO2peak: +3%
  • LT Power: +4%
  • Aerobic Economy: +4%
  • Gross Efficiency: +5%

The other way to think about it - even if FTP stays the same a 3-week Coach Chad FTP boost block of training should change the shape of your power-duration curve:

After working on vo2max, you should see the entire curve change shape including some “lifting” of ftp efforts.
