He breaks down how he’s building FTP from 289 to 299 watts while dropping weight from 156 to 154 lbs , with the long-term goal of ~ 320w and ~ 147 lbs . You’ll hear his weekly structure of sweet spot, over-unders, and endurance volume , how AI FTP Detection keeps workouts “appropriately difficult,” and the nutrition plan behind it: a small ~250-calorie deficit , 90g carbs/hour during rides, and consistent post-workout recovery to avoid under-fueling. He also covers Leadville race strategy and gear upgrades —aero positioning, skinsuit options, helmet and pedal changes, and tire testing—plus his charity fundraising for the Life Time Foundation . // RESOURCES MENTIONED - Lifetime Foundation Donation Link: - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠ - Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!
