SUB-THRESHOLD/SWEET SPOT WORK

From Training peak
“Sweet Spot” occurs at 83 to 97 percent of your FTP and riding here can help improve the aerobic, steady state efforts that characterize FTP. Sweet Spot gets it’s name because it is a balanced amount of intensity and volume. You can achieve more positive physiological adaptations than if you were to ride harder at zone 4/threshold. By riding below your FTP it is a more repeatable workout and won’t take quite as much out of you. Do these efforts on a stretch of road without interruptions, and focus on maintaining a steady effort. A steady grade 3 to 5 percent hill works very well.

Start with 3×8 minutes at “sweet spot” with 4 minutes easy spinning in between. Build up to 3×10 minute with 5 minutes easy spinning in between.

Aerobic Peak Power Output test for 425-475 W and VO2max estimation

Aerobic Peak Power Output (PPO) test starting @ 275W. This test is based on the Hawley & Noakes European Journal of Applied Physiology 1992 test.

This is a step test with 2.5 min duration for each stage, the first increase in wattage is 50 watts, and 25 watts for subsequent stages.

The first stage is set at at 3.33 w/kg. Taking that into consideration this particular test would be suited for 'average' competitive cyclists of ~82 kg. Or cyclists with other body mass values expected to have a PPO between 425 and 475 W.

PPO in watts is calculated as follows:

Wattage of last stage + ( (time spent in last stage/150)*25 )

Estimation of VO2max based on PPO:

VO2max (L/min) = (0.01141 * PPO) + 0.435
