After following this plan, you should see an improvement in your threshold power (e.g. FTP) and VO2max. This means you'll be able to hold higher power over durations of around 3-60 minutes,
respond better to changes in pace when racing, and recover better after hard efforts.
Threshold power and VO2max are relevant to all endurance cycling disciplines, and are aspects of fitness that most endurance cyclists should work on at some point in their training.
As this plan follows a polarised intensity distribution, with training intensities that are tailored to your fitness level, this plan is suitable for athletes of a range of abilities,
including masters athletes. If beginning this plan after an off-season break, we recommend following one of our conditioning plans first.
