I reached Sweetspot level 10 well 10.4 a few weeks ago. The following week ai ftp only went up 3 watts to 306 which ai ftp had it at before it went down to 303 the previous time. I may have failed one workout in that time period. I’m reaching the point where it’s harder and harder to find time to…

Thank you for the reply and I’ll definitely bump those vo2 workouts up a bit. :muscle:t3:

For a well trained cyclist sweet spot doesn’t really raise ftp. For a beginner every kind of riding raises ftp.

I do not use the PL’s so not sure what SS level I am in but in history I went to 10 on SS, tempo,… al ‘base’ zones… I did some aerobic riding last days and maybe it also time to move on to something else? vo2? treshold? Endurance 4hr ride: 0.63IF 3.8% decoupling Sub LT1 2hr ride: 0.80IF 2.2% deco…
