To raise FTP without losing the rides you enjoy, build moderate–hard days around repeatable controlled efforts.
Repeatable work near threshold plus enough easy riding matters more than one exceptional session.
For today’s 45–60 minute moderate–hard recommendation
- 10 min easy warmup
- Choose one main set:
- Rolling tempo: 3 × 8 min at RPE 7/10 with 4 min easy
- Climbing option: 2 × 12 min at RPE 7/10 with 5 min easy; stay smooth and seated at 85–95 rpm
- 5–10 min easy cooldown
Were you more of a long steady grinder, a hills-and-surges rider, or a group-ride sprinter?
