  • Опубліковано 9 жов 2022
  • Functional Threshold Power, or FTP, is the power that you can sustain for an hour. One of the buzz-words of professional cycling, improving this figure will enable you to cycle harder, further and longer than you could before. It's also a great session to improve your fitness in general and see how you've improved!
    This session is an hour long and is intense. Be sure to stay hydrated, and take plenty of rest after you have finished the workout.

    Just in the last 3 minutes of the cool down, this was tough! Really enjoyed it though. I love all the banter between you folks. This channel has really helped me with my fitness goals, living in shanghai during the lockdown earlier this year, this channel kept me sane when I had no other physical outlet and for me having been severely overweight in the last, this has really helped my mental well-being.
    Thanks for all the hard work team GCN.

    This was extremely motivational! I have been watching these GCN videos, acoupke times a week, since pandemic started. Seeing a rider strugle in this video makes me like these videos so much more. So many times I get on the trainer and strugle and want to stop but always see you guys on an unreachable, inhuman level!
    I makes more motivated to get on the bike even if I am tired and do my best to get to the finish line.

One that I do at home when I'm not doing your sessions, is that within an hour, I increase each effort level, starting at 3..4..5 going upwards towards 10, then in the last 10 mins of my ride, work my way back down to 3 to finish making sure I hit my target distance of 25kms.
