FTP

Discover how ROUVY indoor cycling workouts use ERG mode, FTP, and cadence targets to improve your training. A simple beginner’s guide to structured workouts.

Short on time but hungry for big gains? HIIT workouts for cyclists deliver maximum results in minimal minutes. By blending short, intense bursts with recovery, interval training for cycling builds power, speed, and endurance faster than endless base miles. Whether indoors or out, cycling HIIT sessions and properly tailored HIIT bike workouts can help you boost FTP, burn fat, and ride stronger than ever.

Coach Ric Stern sat down with ROUVY to discuss his career, some of his athletes’ many achievements, and the Serious FTP Builder training plan he created for the app. He crafted the plan to help advanced cyclists boost their functional threshold power while building endurance and overall performance.

Every moderately advanced cyclist has probably encountered the terms FTP or anaerobic threshold (AT). If they haven't already, they are likely to receive a question from another cyclist in the near future: "What's your FTP?" or read about their favourite athlete undergoing threshold or FTP training. These two parameters appear frequently in the vocabulary of endurance athletes, yet they are often insufficiently understood. If you ask your cycling buddy why they apply intervals at the FTP or AT level, they might not be able to answer. In this article, I will try to explain these two concepts in understandable terms and from a sports science perspective.

When it comes to cycling training, FTP is a term you might have come across. It’s a great way to understand how powerful you are as a cyclist and can help you improve your training structure.
