FTP Percentage Interval Prescription
FTP percentage interval prescription sets targets as percent of threshold power—retest when RPE drifts at prescribed watts so zones stay honest through build blocks.
FTP percentage interval prescription sets workout targets as percent of tested functional threshold—one hundred five to one hundred twenty percent for VO2 repeats, eighty-eight to ninety-three for sweet spot, fifty-five to seventy-five for recovery spins. Stale FTP mislabels every zone; retest or adjust when RPE drifts three points at prescribed percent.
Indoor and outdoor may differ slightly. Prescription is starting point; heat and fatigue warrant minus five watt trims.
