Show Notes
Gravel training is not the same as training for the road, and therefore you should pay attention to different power-based metrics. FTP is not as important nor is your peak 20-minute power. Nor your 5-minute power. So what should you be looking at and trying to improve?
In this podcast, we give you the power-based metrics you should pay attention to for your gravel training and racing!
What's important is how long you can ride hard. That's way more important than your 60-minute FTP power when it comes to gravel racing.
In fact, you can have a low FTP but great 5-hour power. We can that strength 'diesel watts'. Are you a diesel? If so you are probably good at gravel racing!
