We recap the results of following AI Endurance’s cycling training plan that saw our FTP grow according to AI Endurance’s predictions, following the instructions on how to improve FTP.
We - Dominik and Markus of AI Endurance - have been training for Paris to Ancaster 2020 , a gravel grinder race that was supposed to happen on April 26th 2020 but was cancelled because of Covid-19.
Nevertheless, we stuck to AI Endurance’s 8 week cycling training plan and saw great improvements. If you missed earlier posts about our journey, you can find them here:
Dominik grew his FTP to 283 W in 8 weeks, slightly better than the prediction of 261 W, achieving a new PB with AI Endurance’s individualized training plan. His thoughts:
Markus grew his FTP to 299 W in 8 weeks, also slightly better than AI Endurance’s prediction of 293 W. His thoughts:

When it comes to triathlon training, nutrition plays a vital role in fueling your performance and optimizing your results. To help you reach peak performance, we have developed an advanced AI meal plan that takes into account your unique requirements, respects the calorie cost of your workouts, and accommodates your dietary preferences. With the power of evidence-based nutrition models, we ensure that your triathlon meal plan is tailored to support your goals.
by Markus Rummel. Last month I presented our durability research at the Science in Cycling symposium in Bromont, Quebec. The question behind the talk: can you measure how well an athlete holds up over a long ride from the data they already record in training, without a lab test? In other words, can you measure your cycling durability from everyday rides? The short answer is yes, and this post explains how, what we found, and why it matters for your training.
Before every workout you should know if you're actually ready for it. Everyone responds differently to stress, bad sleep and exercise fatigue - our new recovery model makes data driven decisions about when you should train and when you shouldn't - based on heart rate variability (HRV).
by Markus Rummel. We present the first results of AI Endurance's new capability to calculate Respiration Frequency (RF) from in-activity heart rate variability (HRV) data. RF demonstrates its potential in assessing the validity of HRV threshold determination.
