Description
FTP/Power Threshold Improvement Weeks 1-16 is a 16 week plan designed for the Cyclist or Triathlete who trains with power, HR (Heart Rate), or RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and can train 10 – 14 hours per week (excluding Rest Weeks). You will need to be able to devote between 2 – 5 hours to training on one of your weekend days.
I built this plan as the ultimate plan to guarantee an overall improvement in all your power zones with the main focus on your FTP.
FTP (Functional Threshold Power), LT (Lactate Threshold) or Wattage. The goal here is to raise your W/Kg (Watts/Kilogram). There are only two ways to do that, lose weight or increase your power output. Here we are going to focus on increasing your power output. This plan progressively builds your FTP with work at your SST (Sweet Spot) (88-93% of FTP), work right at your FTP and also VO2 Max, AC (Anaerobic Capacity) and even touching your sprint in the NP (Neuromuscular Power) zone.

The Next Level
Thanks for recommending the 1-16 week threshold improvement plan. My FTP has improved from 240 to 280 which is an all-time high for me and my weight has decreased from 168 to 160. I did my first masters race which was a crit and comfortably finished in the pack with my primary goal being not to crash in my first race in 12 years. I have been able to keep up for the most part on rides with Cat 1- Cat 3 riders that I have never been able to hang on for. Needless to say, I am very pleased with the results of the training.
Your plans are a great product and really helped me get to the next level.
