Sweet Spot Training (SST) Cycling Blueprint: 88-94% FTP Progression
Sweet Spot Training (88% to 94% FTP) represents the mathematical sweet spot balancing physiological mitochondrial adaptations against neurological fatigue cost.
Executing progressive SST blocks yields maximal aerobic threshold gains on limited 4-5 hour weekly training budgets.
Section IV & V: Cadence Modulation in SST and Training Periodization FAQ
Modulating cadence between low-torque 65rpm grinds and neuromuscular 105rpm spins broadens muscular adaptability.
Section VI & VII: 8-Week SST Periodized Master Plan and Nutritional Recovery
Progressive interval duration over 8 weeks pushes aerobic threshold capacity toward a new FTP peak.
