I'm looking to improve my FTP as much as I can. If I'm only a 6-8 hour a week rider, (5 days), will PT have the same advantages over sweet spot that it has for high volume riders?
Good question. I have often wondered if, for time strapped cyclists, there is a benefit to doing a hybrid, since generally there will be more rest days to recover from any efforts. I envision that there is some benefit to doing a 40/40/20, if you are going to have more rest days than normal, and need to tax the system more per effort.
But I will wait for coaches and more experienced individuals to chime in.
