    4 Ways to Increase Threshold Power in 2026

    Brendan Housler explains that FTP isn’t one system but reflects aerobic base, VO2 max “ceiling,” lactate handling, durability, and time to exhaustion, so raising threshold requires targeting your specific limiter instead of doing random FTP workouts. He prioritizes first building an endurance foundation (2–3 hour rides feeling fresh), then using VO2 max and over-unders, followed by supra-threshold work (just above FTP), and lastly steady-state TTE workouts (e.g., 3x20, 2x30, 1x45). He suggests using 5-minute power as a rough VO2 proxy and comparing FTP/5-min power (fractional utilization) to decide whether to focus on VO2 work or threshold, while noting anaerobic riders can skew 5-minute results. He emphasizes fueling key sessions, adjusting focus around race season, and maintaining year-round purpose by stacking training across seasons and years.Chapters:00:00 Stop Surviving Intervals00:47 FTP Is Multiple Systems02:59 Four Buckets Framework03:25 Base Before Intensity05:05 Find Your Limiter05:42 Ceiling Test With 5-Minute07:14 VO2 Max Workout Menu08:21 Supra Threshold Bridge09:41 Over Unders For Surges10:32 Build Time To Exhaustion11:54 Recap And Next Steps12:52 Sample Week And Caveats13:56 Fueling And Coaching Plugs15:14 Offseason Purpose And Wrap👋🏽 If you're new to the channel, welcome!

    Why This Ben Healy Workout Works So Well

    Brendan Housler and Landry Bobo break down a Ben Healy “lactate clearance” session: 3 x 10 minutes with 2 minutes at ~120% FTP followed immediately by 8 minutes at ~85–90% FTP, with 10 minutes easy between sets. They explain that the goal isn’t the surge itself but the ability to settle back into strong aerobic riding while clearing and reusing lactate, mirroring real race demands like attacks, covering moves, and riding hard after climbs or corners. They discuss why many riders can hit VO2 efforts but struggle to continue at tempo afterward, and share ways to progress the workout (longer hard starts, adding surges, 40/20s into tempo, more repeats, or adjusting recovery). They suggest using this work in build phases, pre-race prep, and even year-round as lighter “touches” between harder blocks.📧Email Landry@evoq.bike and Brendan@evoq.bike👉Coach Bios: https://www.evoq.bike/brendan-housler-bio – https://www.evoq.bike/landry-bobo-bioLandry on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/1317545Brendan on Strava: https://www.strava.com/pros/5889Chapters:00:00 Podcast Intro00:05 Ben Healy Workout01:14 Why It Works02:11 Lactate Explained03:45 Common Mistakes04:44 Workout Progressions06:01 More Variations07:40 Steady State Debate09:08 When To Use It09:58 Year Round Touches10:57 Wrap Up And Links👋🏽 If you're new to the channel, welcome!
