In under 5 minutes, I'll answer all of these questions for you and tell you exactly how I improved my FTP to 300W and haven't looked back since.

A little about myself:
New to my channel? Well, I'm an average recreational cyclist that recently moved from America to Girona, Catalunya, Spain. The Tour De France 2023, The Vuelta España 2023 and The Tour of Catalunya will all be held here in Spain! Sometimes I race and when I do, I share my training with you along the way. So far, I've done crit racing, road racing and gravel racing. I haven't done a duathlon or a triathlon yet, but it is something I am thinking about!

So far in Spain, I’ve seen DSM cycling, SD Worx, Team Jayco Alula, Rally / Human Powered Health cycling, Ineos, Arkea cycling, UAE team emirates and more all training here. Did you know there’s also a GCN studio here?!

Interesting advice and informative video. Thank you 🙏 Any further advice on best time to fit sweet spot training in? Anytime or good to focus over winter? Also, can you upload Trainerroad sessions into Zwift to make the sessions a bit more interactive? Or do you have to manually recreate them? 🤔

Sitting at 232 watts today. My goal is to reach that number by the end of the year.

Calculation at 95% of 20 mins to get one hour isnt really appropriate for an amatuer as you wont have the same endurance as a pro anfld therefore you should use a bigger haircut.

Well problem is 300 watts ftp would be 5.4 watts/kilo for me. Not achievable
