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:

by Grant Paling. In my last blog, I closed the chapter on my European Championship race in Portugal. It definitely was an intense period leading up to, during and after the race. So many emotions, so much effort invested and then…what’s next?
by Grant Paling. I’m back. It’s been a few weeks and ultimately, a lot of time to process what happened. If you’ve been following my European Age Group Championship adventures, you will know that the triathlon went well. Very well. But let me give you a deeper insight into the race, the mentality I took into it and then in following blogs I’ll reflect on how that performance was achieved using AI Endurance.
Apple Watch has been a popular choice in running and triathlon. You can now track and execute your AI Endurance custom running, cycling and swimming workouts on your Apple Watch.
We compare polarized training, threshold training and AI optimized endurance training. AI optimized training yields the best results, followed by polarized training with threshold training in third. The results are inline with current exercise physiology research. If the training composition is not optimized to the individual athlete, substantially smaller gains are to be expected.
