FTP-Functional Threshold Power
FTP is a very important metric for endurance athletes. It helps set up training and racing ranges. It helps identify when an athlete improves. It helps show year-to-year progression. .
Training FTP isn’t as easy as it’s made out to be. As athletes progress in their careers, the ability to see the improvements we saw when starting out becomes more difficult. The training, intervals, and progressions need to become more accurate. INSCYD testing helps us identify which “knobs” to turn to see growth in your FTP.
Fueling is critical for success
Too many times as a coach, friend, student of the sport I’ve witnessed the same mistake from athletes. They train hard, they dedicate so much time, passion, and energy towards their BIG race to only fall short because of a nutrition error. Too many or too few calories, carbs, sodium, and liquid. Too little or too much sodium. Hot or cold weather races? All of these things can be calculated
How many calories do you burn at 75% FTP? How many grams of Carbs do you burn at 70% FTP? We can get an accurate count to develop a fueling plan.
What type of athlete are you?
Once you complete the INSCYD testing (Zwift and TrainerRoad options) which consists of 4 different interval lengths. We then get a blueprint of your strengths and weakness and knowing which “knob to turn" to see the biggest improvements.
Since testing my athletes, this has been a game-changer for seeing results quicker and improving race performances, especially IRONMAN and 70.3 performances.

How INSCYD Testing Works
Step 1: Athletes are sent a testing protocol to perform inside or outside
Step 2: Coach uploads the training file to the INSCYD software, creating the most complete and accurate metabolic profile.
Step 3: Coach and athlete discuss the best pathway to help the athlete improve
STEPS:
1-FILL OUT FORM AND PAYMENT
2-COACH WILL SEND OVER TESTING INFORMATION
3-ATHLETE PERFORMS THE TEST AND SENDS THE FILES BACK TO COACH
4-COACH IMPORTS DATA INTO INSCYD SOFTWARE
5-ATHLETE AND COACH SET UP 60 MINUTE PHONE CONSULTATION TO DISCUSS RESULTS
6-ATHLETE HAS OPTION FOR COACH TO BUILD AN 8 WEEK TRAINING PLAN
