CYCLING FTP PLATEAU — HOW TO BREAK THROUGH

Your FTP has flatlined. You've been at the same number for 6 months, maybe longer. You train regularly, you eat reasonably well, you sleep — but the needle won't move.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Most often, this is because you've exhausted the easy gains from unstructured training. The fix: build the base first — zone 2 volume before intensity.

WHY THIS HAPPENS

✗

You've exhausted the easy gains from unstructured training

✗

Your training lacks periodisation — no base, build, peak cycle

✗

You're under-recovering between hard sessions

✗

Your aerobic base is too shallow for the intensity you're adding

✗

You haven't changed your approach in over a year
