He breaks down how he’s building FTP from 289 to 299 watts while dropping weight from 156 to 154 lbs, with the long-term goal of ~320w and ~147 lbs. You’ll hear his weekly structure of sweet spot, over-unders, and endurance volume, how AI FTP Detection keeps workouts “appropriately difficult,” and the nutrition plan behind it: a small ~250-calorie deficit, 90g carbs/hour during rides, and consistent post-workout recovery to avoid under-fueling. He also covers Leadville race strategy and gear upgrades—aero positioning, skinsuit options, helmet and pedal changes, and tire testing—plus his charity fundraising for the Life Time Foundation.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Lifetime Foundation Donation Link: https://give.ltfoundation.org/fundraiser/6845358 - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.

They address environmental impact concerns, clear up common misconceptions around FTP and AI, and share recent updates like the Power Records Chart, group workouts returning, and new controls for fatigue detection and workout scoring—ultimately focusing on how these changes help athletes get more consistent, achievable training and better results.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.

They explain why underfueling, poor carbohydrate intake, and not allowing enough recovery time leave athletes feeling flat, and how high-carb fueling, smarter meal planning, and simple, repeatable nutrition habits improve workout quality and long-term progress. The discussion covers weight management without obsession, scale fluctuations, busy-athlete nutrition strategies, and how to fuel training and racing properly so workouts feel sustainable, productive, and repeatable. At the end they go over Jonathan’s Leadville plan and what he’ll need to do from a nutrition front to make his goal of 7hrs.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Alex’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexlarsonnutrition - Alex’s Nutrition Coaching Services: https://alexlarsonnutrition.com - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.
