Things to know about our cycling sessions:
“FTP” stands for “functional threshold power”. It is basically the best power you can hold for 1
hour outside. To mimic that on a trainer, we do a 20minute interval and multiply whatever
power you can hold for 20 minutes by 95% to get your indoor FTP. If you haven’t done an FTP
test, but train with power, take your best guess based on the perceived efforts we provide. We’ll
plan to do an FTP test soon. If you don’t ride with power and don’t know your FTP, no problem!
Just follow the workouts and focus on trying to hit the perceived effort targets we provide, or
you can use the HR zones listed below.
Let’s break down a line of one of our workouts to help make sense of our shorthand:
4 rounds:
-20 sec HARD 150% FTP (GO GO GO)
-40 sec EASY 30% FTP
Don’t worry about perceived effort here, just GO GO GO. Then ride REALLY easy for 40 seconds.
Here's how we break down perceived effort (PE):
60-70% PE – I can still hold a conversation, but I might have to take pauses to breathe. Zone 2 HR
70-80% PE – I can speak phrases, but maybe not full sentences. Zone 3 HR
80-90% PE – This feels pretty hard and I could only hold this power for 20-30minutes at the most. I can speak single words, not completely sentences. Zone 4HR
90-100% PE – The best I can hold for the duration of the interval. The only sounds I make are animal noises. Zone 5 HR
Don’t worry, we’ll have an expert coach to take you through each workout and remind you where you need to be. If you have any questions about the workouts, please don’t hesitate to reach out either via our private Facebook Page, or directly to Head Coach Jess Smith
