CoachingDIAGNOSIS

WHY AM I NOT GETTING FASTER AT CYCLING?

You're training consistently but your FTP hasn't moved in months. Group rides feel the same. Race results are stagnant. You're working hard — maybe harder than ever — and nothing changes.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Most often, this is because no structured plan — riding hard without intention. The fix: get structured — follow a plan with clear intensity targets.

WHY THIS HAPPENS

No structured plan — riding hard without intention

Too much time in the grey zone (Zone 3) — not easy enough or hard enough

Insufficient recovery — stacking fatigue without adaptation

Nutrition misalignment — under-fuelling hard sessions

No periodisation — same training month after month

Training alone without accountability or external review
