Our three most experienced coaches discuss common mistakes when training and building FTP. We look at testing, interval execution and progression, adaptation timelines, periodization, fatigue management, lactate testing, and much more. We also answer your listener questions on FTP training.

What if your computer didn't need a screen in front of you to get work done? That's the shift Ben Guo, co-founder of Zo, is building toward, and this conversation gets into the specifics of what that actually looks like day to day.In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Ben Guo to explore Zo: a personal cloud computer with built-in AI agents, file storage, scheduled tasks, and the ability to receive commands over text or email. Together, they unpack how Zo differs from the OpenClaw movement and why Ben thinks the personal cloud becomes a device category everyone eventually owns.The conversation goes deep on how the Zo team actually builds software: writing AI-generated markdown plans before touching any code, reviewing those plans as GitHub PRs, and largely abandoning the traditional to-do backlog in favor of just prompting something and letting it run. They also get into the real overhead that comes with this new way of working, including context management, delegation judgment, and figuring out what belongs where.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

This week Kathryn catches up with cycling coach Serena Bishop Gordon. Serena has been coaching for many years, and this year she is the head coach for the Feisty Winter Cycling program. She first dives into explaining the difference between training vs exercising, and the importance of building progressive load into a training program, and reminds us that rest and recovery are key parts of the training process. With all of the options for training plans out there, it can be hard to determine which plan is right for you. Serena gives us some tips on how to determine if a plan is the right fit for your training needs. She also describes how to measure progress both within one workout, and over time. Serena and Kathryn also tackle some other common questions, like what does FTP stand for, and how do you test it? Serena's reminder to us is that if you are thinking about getting into a cycling training plan, today is the best day to start!Follow Serena on Instagram @specialblendgravel and learn more about her coaching and camps at www.specialblendgravelcamp.com/

This week on the GCN Show, we dive into the "prohibitive" cost of cycling and investigate if the sport is actually cheaper than ever thanks to a booming second-hand market. We also explore a bizarre new scientific study suggesting that training in a hot tub could significantly boost your FTP. Plus, Dan recounts the moment he was overtaken by a World Champion while riding flat-out, and we take a look at Shimano's latest "self-tightening" shoe patent.

In this episode, cycling coaches Landry and Brendan from EVOQ discuss the relevance and limitations of FTP tests in cycling training. They delve into the nuances of FTP testing, including when it might be useful, its psychological and physical preparations, and alternative methods to gauge FTP. The coaches emphasize the importance of using multiple data points to estimate FTP rather than relying solely on specific tests. They also highlight the potential drawbacks of focusing too much on testing instead of actual race performance. Tune in to get practical tips on how to navigate your FTP testing and improve your cycling performance.Don't Forget About Sportful Dolomiti in June! https://cyclinghero.wetravel.com/trips/sportful-dolomiti-race-dolomites-2026-cyclinghero-inc-59742085Also, the new Cycle Sequatchie - https://www.cyclesequatchie.com/ultra EVOQ26Chapters:00:00 Introduction to FTP Testing00:54 Meet the Coaches: Landry and Brendan01:03 The Debate: Are FTP Tests Essential?02:36 Limitations of FTP Tests10:09 Alternative Methods to Gauge FTP15:00 Signs It's Time to Increase Your FTP16:01 Final Thoughts and Recommendations19:25 Bonus Content Teaser

Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026Most self-coached cyclists don't struggle from lack of motivation — they struggle because they keep repeating a handful of fixable mistakes.In this video, we break down five of the biggest traps ambitious riders fall into — from overbuilding fatigue and obsessing over FTP, to misusing readiness data and relying too heavily on AI. These aren't beginner errors… they're the subtle ones that quietly cap your performance.More importantly, we'll show you how to correct each mistake with simple, practical shifts you can apply immediately.

Download the Episode Transcript in .pdf formatIn this episode of the Fund the People Podcast, you'll gain practical insights into how centering workers' perspectives -- and sharing power between employees and management -- can dramatically improve job quality in nonprofit organizations.Host Rusty Stahl sits down with Brianna Rogers and Rob Hope of Rework The Bay to unpack a bold funding experiment supported by the James Irvine Foundation and conducted in partnership with Jobs for the Future. Eight California nonprofits engaged frontline staff as participatory researchers to examine their own working conditions and to co-create improvements with their organizations' top executives.The results challenge assumptions. While compensation is foundational, workers most emphasized voice, transparency, shared leadership, professional growth, and healthier work boundaries as essential components of a quality job. The project surfaced five key lessons: workers can surface what truly matters; leaders grow when they listen; power must be intentionally shared; strategies must be tailored to organizational context; and job quality is an ongoing process—not a one-time fix.Through concrete examples—from four-day workweeks to anonymous feedback systems and participatory decision-making—this conversation offers nonprofit leaders and funders actionable ideas to advance shared leadership, transform funding practices, and elevate collective voice.Part of our ongoing California Voices Series, this episode is a roadmap for anyone committed to building nonprofit workplaces where staff can thrive—and where stronger internal culture leads to stronger community impact.Speaker Bios:ReWork the Bay Initiative Officer Brianna Rogers partners on ReWork's fundraising efforts and leads our systems change projects focused on building worker power, workforce training and advancing job quality.

OVERVIEWCyclists almost always report a discrepancy between the power output and/or perceived exertion between indoor and outdoor cycling. Typically, this means struggling to achieve the same power output indoors than can be achieved outdoors for common workouts like FTP intervals or VO2 max efforts. Even easier Zone 2 rides can have higher RPE values (i.e., feel harder) indoors compared to outdoors. In Episode 294 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", Coach Adam Pulford reveals why indoor cycling feels harder, how you can narrow the gap between indoor and outdoor performance, and whether you should use different power training zones indoors vs outdoors.TOPICS COVEREDWhy indoor cycling feels harder than outdoor ridingWhich types of cycling workouts are affected more by moving indoorsHow to narrow the gap between indoor and outdoor performanceWhen to make different indoor and outdoor power training zonesRESOURCES Indoor vs Outdoor Power ExplainedKnowledge is Watt: https://www.instagram.com/knowledgeiswatt/- Indoor vs Outdoor Power post Can a Mismatch Between Course Gradient and Resistance Affect Performance When Using ERG Mode in a Zwift Workout? ASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.

W nowym odcinku „Rowery, nie bajki”: dwójka wyjątkowych gości, czyli Arek Kogut i Ewa Kołodziej (Ministra Kolarstwa), o tym, jaki trenażer rowerowy wybrać i co robić, żeby jazda na trenażerze rowerowym była przyjemnością. Jazda na rowerze zimą bywa ryzykowna i bywamy skazani na aktywność w domu – dlatego przesiadamy się na urządzenia stacjonarne. Nasi eksperci opowiadają, czym charakteryzuje się trenażer rowerowy. Czym różni się trenażer rowerowy rolkowy od direct drive i jak przygotować sobie trening kolarki dla początkujących, nawet w domu? Czy aplikacje na trenażer, za które odpowiadają różne firmy (m.in. Zwift i Mywoosh), przygotowują nas do jazdy na rowerze wiosną i latem?
Co jest największym wyzwaniem w domowej aktywności rowerowej? Jaki wybrać wentylator do trenażera, jak się nie nudzić w trakcie jazdy, jak zrobić test FTP (i co to w ogóle jest) oraz realizować z grupą treningi w domu?
O tym, jak powinien wyglądać trening kolarski zimą, czy dziewczyny na rowerach są fankami trenażerów i o wielu nowych skrótach rowerowych posłuchasz w tym odcinku wideokastu „Rowery, nie bajki”. Z Ministrą Kolarstwa Ewą Kołodziej i Arkiem Kogutem rozmawia Julek Ćwieluch.

In this episode of The Athletes Compass, Dr. Paul Laursen and the team break down the science and practical application of the second threshold — also known as LT2, VT2, FTP, or critical power. They explain what physiologically happens when you cross this boundary, why base training is essential before adding threshold work, and how over-unders, tempo sessions, and VO2 max intervals raise performance. The conversation explores common mistakes athletes make (especially doing too much intensity), the role of durability, and how to assess threshold progress without lab testing. If you want to train smarter, improve pacing, and sustainably increase performance, this episode delivers a masterclass in intensity control.Key TakeawaysLT1 vs LT2: LT1 (aerobic threshold) = top of Zone 2, sustainable “all-day” effort. LT2 (second threshold) = highest sustainable steady-state effort before rapid fatigue.Above LT2: Glycolytic demand increases, lactate accumulates faster, heart rate drifts, and fatigue accelerates.Functional vs Lab Testing: FTP and critical power are practical field markers of LT2. Lab tests measure physiology, but field tests often matter more for performance.Day-to-Day Variation Is Real: Sleep, fueling, equipment, environment, and training phase can significantly affect test results.Base Training First: A strong aerobic base (mitochondrial development) improves tolerance to threshold work and increases fat oxidation capacity.Over-Unders Work Because: They stimulate mitochondrial adaptations by forcing lactate clearance and improving aerobic durability.Intensity Control Matters: Spending more time in the correct zone is more beneficial than constantly pushing the top end.Most Common Mistake: Too much high-intensity work without sufficient aerobic base.Durability Is the Goal: Threshold training should build resilience so performance doesn't break down late in races.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.

In this episode, you'll learn how nonprofits are really rated—and why the sector's obsession with overhead could finally be ending. Charity Navigator CEO Michael Thatcher joins host Rusty Stahl to explain how nonprofit ratings are shifting toward impact, leadership, and organizational health—and why investing in people matters more than lean budgets. In a candid moment, Thatcher hints at a future where overhead is no longer part of Charity Navigator's ratings formula, signaling a potentially major change in how nonprofits are judged. Listen in, spread the word, and become part of the shift.Download the episode transcriptGuest Bio:Michael leads Charity Navigator in its efforts to make impactful philanthropy easier for all by increasing the breadth and depth of evaluation methodologies to facilitate ratings coverage of substantially larger numbers of charities and expand how the information engages new and existing audiences.

They explain why TrainerRoad's AI isn't a chatbot or large language model, but a purpose-built system trained on tens of millions of workouts and rides to predict the right workout for the right day, with guardrails that avoid “AI slop.” The conversation dives deep into FTP—why the AI doesn't truly use FTP the way athletes think, why FTP can go down without fitness going down, and how precision and consistency matter more than chasing a number. They also cover progression levels, post-workout surveys, predicted difficulty, yellow and red days, missed workouts, illness, and why plans change dynamically as you train. Throughout, the focus stays on what matters most: progressive overload, recovery, and building fitness you can actually use, with practical advice to help athletes trust the system, train smarter, and keep getting faster over time.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram

Click here for edited transcript (pdf format)According to the Trump Administration, nonprofits and philanthropic foundations are “terror-supporting organizations.” Peaceful protestors are “terrorists.” Violent mobs are simply tourists having a picnic. And the masked gunmen they've deputized are hard-working joes just trying to do their jobs.As we recall how Dr. King and his colleagues used non-violent civil disobedience to end legal segregation, host Rusty Stahl discusses how nonprofit workers, activists, and protestors, can challenge the reality-distorting propaganda we face today.It's a new year, and it's a new season of your Fund the People Podcast!

This week we recap the historic comeback Wild Card victory over the hated Packers—what sparked the turnaround, the biggest moments, and why this win belongs in Bears playoff lore.Then it's on to the Divisional Round. We turn the page and preview the Bears' matchup against the Rams this Sunday, breaking down the keys to the game, potential adjustments, and what it'll take to keep this playoff run alive.Celebrate the win. Lock in for the next one. Bear Down.

Our coaches dig into non-FTP related aspects of training and physiology that that lead to better race results, and workouts that can be done for each. We specifically consider road racing, criteriums, mountain bike and cyclocross, plus gravel and ultra racing, and a couple things to train that can easily apply to everything.

Data as a Product: Was steckt dahinter?Warum ist AI überall, aber der Weg von der Datenbank zu "Wow, das Modell kann das" wirkt oft wie ein schwarzes Loch? Du loggst brav Events, die Daten landen in irgendwelchen Silos, und trotzdem bleibt die entscheidende Frage offen: Wer sorgt eigentlich dafür, dass aus Rohdaten ein zuverlässiges, verkaufbares Datenprodukt wird.In dieser Episode machen wir genau dort das Licht an. Gemeinsam mit Mario Müller, Director of Data Engineering bei Veeva Systems, schauen wir uns an, was Datenteams wirklich sind, wie "Data as a Product" in der Praxis funktioniert und warum Data Engineering mehr ist als nur ein paar CSVs über FTP zu schubsen. Wir sprechen über Teamstrukturen von der One-Man-Show bis zur cross-functional Squad, über Ownership auf den Daten, Data Governance und darüber, wie du Datenqualität wirklich misst, inklusive Monitoring, Alerts, SQL-Regeln und menschlicher Quality Control.Dazu gibt es eine ordentliche Portion Tech: Spark, AWS S3 als primärer Speicher, Delta Lake, Athena, Glue, Airflow, Push-Pull statt Event-Overkill und die Entscheidung für Batch Processing, obwohl alle Welt nach Streaming ruft.Und natürlich klären wir auch, was passiert, wenn KI an den Daten rumfummelt: Wo AI beim Bootstrapping hilft, warum Production und Scale tricky werden und wieso Verantwortlichkeit beim Commit nicht von einem LLM übernommen wird.Wenn du Datenteams aufbauen willst, Data Products liefern musst oder einfach verstehen willst, wie aus Daten verlässlicher Business-Impact wird, bist du hier genau richtig.Bonus: Batchjobs bekommen heute mal ein kleines Comeback.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

In this special and light-hearted episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Mike is joined by a very special guest—his wife, Diana. Together, Mike and Diana share the story of how they first met in high school, why they didn't start dating until two years after graduation, and what their very first date was really like. Now married for 32 years, they reflect on building a life together while raising two sons who are now adults.Diana, an Instructional Coach for 5th and 6th grade, offers a perspective far removed from finish lines and FTP tests—and she's perfectly okay with that. While she has zero interest in triathlon, co-host Ashley puts her on the spot by testing her knowledge of the sport, leading to plenty of laughs and relatable moments for Age Group Athletes and their spouses.This episode is a reminder that behind every triathlete is a life, a family, and a partner who helps make it all possible.#EverydayIronman #AgeGroupAthlete #TriathlonLife #TriathlonPodcast #IronmanFamilyFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

OVERVIEWAnaerobic capacity is the work you can do above your lactate threshold. Another term for it is Functional Reserve Capacity (FRC), and it acts like a battery that contains a finite amount of energy that runs out quickly and must be recharged before a subsequent use. FRC is your high-intensity, explosive power for winning sprints, creating breakaways, closing gaps, and riding competitors off your wheel. In the final episode in this series with WKO Data Leader and Coach Tim Cusick, Tim and CTS Coach Adam Pulford discuss what FRC is, how to train it, the consequences of focusing on FRC (you may have to sacrifice some FTP for it), and therefore when and how much FRC work to incorporate into your training plan.Topics Covered In This Episode:Definitions of anaerobic capacity and functional reserve capacity (FRC)Anaerobic Capacity adaptation from 1-2 weeks of trainingAnaerobic Capacity adaptation from 2-5 weeks of trainingWhy FRC training intensities must be SUPER HARD!Recommended interval workouts for FRC trainingWhen to incorporate FRC workouts into your trainingResourcesTim at Basecamp: https://www.joinbasecamp.com/tim-cusick Tim on IG https://www.instagram.com/tim.cusick_coach/Stress vs Strain: Difference Between Stress and Strain - GeeksforGeeks https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/physics/difference-between-stress-and-strain/Guest Bio:Tim Cusick is a world-class cycling coach, a leader in data analytics for endurance sports, an educator, and an innovative business leader.

What happens when you mix a live Sweet Spot group ride, real-time coaching, fueling advice, tech questions, and unfiltered athlete Q&A? You get a live, no-BS training session led by Coach Frank that covers how cyclists train. Pardon the audio as we recorded from our discord channel that was live during the ride. In this ride & podcast, we dove into a dozen or more topics, including: 1. How to ride Sweet Spot by feel (no rigid intervals required) 2. Why Sweet Spot is "not too hard, not too easy — just right" 3. Fueling correctly indoors (70–90g carbs/hr and why it matters) 4. ERG mode: when to use it and when it hurts your training 5. Using time-in-zone instead of chasing perfect watts 6. Heart rate vs power for Sweet Spot Time in Zone Accuracy 7. Training consistency, durability, and long-ride fatigue resistance 8. How to adapt training when life, travel, injuries, or holidays happen 9. Festive 500 strategy for road, gravel, crit, and masters athletes 10. Strength training + endurance: how to blend them without burnout 11. Why most plateaus are caused by doing the same thing too long 12. How CoachCat helps revise plans, answer questions, and guide decisions in real time

OVERVIEWVO2 max or maximum aerobic capacity is your performance ceiling, but it is trainable and you can not only increase your VO2 max, but also the power you can produce at VO2 max, how long you can sustain that power, and the amount of work you can accomplish between lactate threshold and VO2 max. In Episode #285 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", coaches Adam Pulford and Basecamp's Tim Cusick discuss how VO2 max training works, the workout specifics necessary to increase VO2 max, and how to turn training into speed for real-world performance. Topics Covered In This Episode:How VO2 max responds to trainingThe relationship between lactate threshold, FTP, and VO2 maxWhat to expect after 1-2 weeks of VO2 max trainingWhat to expect after 2-4 weeks and 4-8 weeks of VO2 max trainingHow to know when you've done enough VO2 max trainingVO2 max workout structure: interval duration, total time-in-zone, frequencyResourcesTim at Basecamp: https://www.joinbasecamp.com/tim-cusick Tim on IG https://www.instagram.com/tim.cusick_coach/Stress vs Strain: Difference Between Stress and Strain - GeeksforGeeks https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/physics/difference-between-stress-and-strain/Guest Bio:Tim Cusick is a world-class cycling coach, a leader in data analytics for endurance sports, an educator, and an innovative business leader.

On Dec. 18, the island-wide special customs operation of Hainan Free Trade Port, or FTP, will be officially launched, giving outside investors the most open access to China's economy to date. Sweeping trade and tax liberalization policies will be in place to boost investment, trade, and industrial development on China's southernmost tropical island. What sets the Hainan FTP apart? What opportunities will Hainan bring to international investors, consumers, and business people in general?

OVERVIEWFollowing their episode on aerobic training, CTS Coach Adam Pulford and Tim Cusick (Head Coach at Basecamp and TrainingPeaks WKO Product Leader) dig into Functional Threshold Power (FTP) training in Episode #284 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast". This is one of the clearest, accessible, and practical explanations of FTP training you'll ever hear. They talk about what's happening in your body, how long each phase of FTP training should take, what interval durations/frequencies/intensities to use, and what adaptations to expect if you're a relative beginner cyclist or a very experienced athlete.Topics Covered In This Episode:You are not your FTP!What's happening in the first 2-4 weeks of FTP Training?What you'll feel after 2-4 weeks of FTP TrainingWhat's happening 4-8 weeks into FTP Training?Diminishing returns after 10-12 weeks of FTP TrainingTraining intensity ranges for FTP workoutsRecommended durations for FTP intervalsFrequency of FTP Workouts per weekResourcesTim at Basecamp: https://www.joinbasecamp.com/tim-cusick Tim on IG https://www.instagram.com/tim.cusick_coach/Stress vs Strain: Difference Between Stress and Strain - GeeksforGeeks https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/physics/difference-between-stress-and-strain/Guest Bio:Tim Cusick is a world-class cycling coach, a leader in data analytics for endurance sports, an educator, and an innovative business leader.

professorjrod@gmail.comThe everyday internet feels effortless, but behind every click lives a maze of services quietly doing the heavy lifting. I pull back the curtain on the systems that make your workday possible—file shares that just appear on your desktop, printers that hum along until a 200‑page PDF wrecks the queue, and the alphabet soup of protocols that move data safely and fast.We start with the essentials: SMB and Samba for file and print, why SFTP on port 22 beats FTP for modern transfers, and how relational databases differ from NoSQL when your needs shift from consistent records to massive logs. From there we head to the browser, unpacking HTTPS, TLS, and certificates so you know what that lock icon actually guarantees. Email gets its due too: SMTP for sending, IMAP for syncing, and the trio of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC that keeps phishing at bay.Security and scale meet in the middle with proxy servers, spam gateways, and Unified Threat Management devices that filter, inspect, and sandbox threats before users ever see them. Then we look at load balancers that keep portals alive at peak times, plus the messy reality of legacy systems that refuse to retire. We don't ignore the industrial world—embedded devices, ICS, and SCADA that run utilities and factories—where one misstep can ripple beyond a single office.Troubleshooting ties it all together. I share real stories and checklists for wired faults, slow networks, Wi‑Fi ghosts caused by microwave ovens, and VoIP glitches fixed with QoS and VLANs. You'll leave with practical ways to spot the root cause fast, confidence with ports and protocols, and a clearer map of the services that keep everything running.If you learned something useful, follow the show, share this episode with a teammate, and leave a quick review to help others find us.
