PLATEAU BROKEN · FTP GAINS

WHEN THE NUMBERS START MOVING AGAIN

The plateau is the most common reason cyclists land here. Years of riding, structured intervals, no movement on the FTP test. The fix usually isn't more — it's the right kind of stress, the right recovery, the right strength work. Here's what that looks like when it lands.

+90w

FTP gain

“I was an average sportive rider who had plateaued. Roadman custom built a plan to achieve my goals. I've gotten much more out of Roadman than I ever imagined. The coaches are very generous with their time and knowledge.”

BODY COMPOSITION

LOSING THE WEIGHT THAT WAS COSTING YOU WATTS

Body composition is the hidden universal motivator. Most riders ask about FTP and discover the gain comes from the same scale that holds their morning weight. These shifts happened over months, not weeks, alongside structured training and honest fuelling — not in spite of it.

-16kg

Lost

“Anthony is a visionary, an educator, a mentor, a coach. He set me on a dietary, mental and physical journey of true discovery. Average wattage doubled and now weekly 100km+ rides are the norm.”

CATEGORY JUMPS · RACE WINS · POWER PRS

WHEN STRUCTURED TRAINING SHOWS UP ON RACE DAY

Race results are the cleanest read on whether the system works. Category upgrades. First wins. Power records on intervals that used to feel impossible. These aren't outliers — they're what happens when the training calendar matches the race calendar and the rider stops making it up as they go.

COMEBACKS

GETTING THE FORM — AND THE LOVE FOR IT — BACK

A bad crash. A long illness. A few years where life took the bike out of the diary. Comebacks are the most emotional category in here, because the work isn't only about watts. It's about the version of yourself you're trying to find again. The riders below did, and they wrote it down.

4 months

Back racing

“I signed up for Not Done Yet after a bad accident in March 2025 and was struggling to get back to the same level. I was starting to lose my enthusiasm for riding. Four months later, I've got my mojo back and I'm really enjoying riding again. Just signed up for my first race this coming Tuesday.”

EVENTS · ULTRA · BUCKET-LIST RIDES

FROM SURVIVING THE EVENT TO PERFORMING IN IT

The Etape. The Marmotte. A 7-day ultra. The bucket-list ride doesn't have to be the one you barely finish. With a structured 16- to 24-week build, the right fuelling protocol, and pacing that matches your actual numbers, the goal stops being completion. It starts being how you ride it.

800km

“From being a complete novice to completing a 7-day race covering more than 800km with 18,500m of climbing. They pushed me to the limits and I had full confidence and trust in them.”

MASTERS · AGE 50+

THE BEST DECADE OF YOUR RIDING ISN'T BEHIND YOU

The masters category is where the “not done yet” identity is loudest — riders who refuse the script that says it's all downhill from here. Done right, masters training is more rewarding, more durable, and more specific than the training you did at 30. The proof below is a small sample.

FTP at 52

“This really works. I'm training so much less than last year, at lower intensities and not getting sick. FTHR up from 175 to 180, peak HR up to 193. FTP up 15%, hit 4 w/kg at age 52.”

HOW WE BUILD THIS PAGE

No invented numbers. No before-photo theatre. No “average results may vary” small print.

Every quote on this page is the athlete's own words. Every power number, weight, body fat percentage, and timeframe comes from their testimonial or their TrainingPeaks file. Where a specific detail isn't available, we either source it from elsewhere or we say it isn't available.

These results are not promises. They're what individual riders achieved with a personalised coaching plan, the right buy-in, and the time it took. The full long-form versions — including the constraints, the intervention, and the caveats — live on the case studies pages.

For the full editorial policy, see our case studies index or our editorial standards.
