Wattslab training plans have arrived at BKOOL

The well-known training studio specialised in cycling, Wattslab, joins forces with BKOOL to bring us different training plans in BKOOL Cycling, focused on improving our performance.

The first training plan available at BKOOL is the FTP Program, which is aimed at all cyclists who feel that they are somewhat stagnant in terms of their performance and want to improve their physical condition by applying a controlled and progressive stimulus.

During 12 sessions we will try to improve the FTP, the average maximum power that a cyclist is capable of sustaining between 35 and 45 minutes in a stable manner. What we are looking for by improving this “balance” point is to improve overall performance.

Ideally, this should be done between 2 and 3 sessions per week, although for beginner cyclists, starting with one structured training session per week will be sufficient. It is very important to always leave a rest day between these sessions and to combine them with a longer training session, for example, the typical outdoor ride at the weekend. Don’t forget that consistency is the key to success!

Here are the links to the 12 training sessions that make up this programme:

If you want to get the most out of these workouts, you can always do an 8-minute test beforehand to calculate your FTP. Once completed, you can set your FTP to 90% of the result of the average power of those 8 minutes.

Remember to do these workouts at the time of day when you feel you have all your energy and avoid training on an empty stomach.

Finally, don’t forget that Wattslab offers a personalised remote training service, via group video conferencing in small groups, to help you improve from home. It’s the closest thing to having a personal trainer guide your indoor training sessions every week. Here is all the information about the Wattslab X BKOOL LIVE Coach service.
