Power up
Stronger, faster, better

If you’ve been cycling for a while, you’ll notice that cyclists often talk about their weight and shedding those extra kilos, to be as light as possible. However, what really matters is how much power (watts) you can produce, and for how long, known as power-to-weight ratio (PWR).

Improve my PWR

There are factors that affect your PWR, like work hours, how much time you have to train, age, genetics and your experience level. Although it might seem daunting, the great news is almost everyone can significantly improve their PWR with structured training.

Try these PWR specific intervals

Try 3 x 10-minute intervals at at least 90% of your FTP (functional threshold power – this is the highest number of watts you can sustain for an hour). If you don’t know your FTP and you don’t have a power meter, do these as low-torque intervals. Rest for 5 minutes between sets and make sure to keep your cadence high and your gear ratio easy.

If you’re feeling good, “burst” your last 30 seconds at the highest possible power output you can achieve.

Structure, structure, structure

Knowing how much and how hard to ride is the secret to improving your PWR. We’ll help you achieve your goals.
