Sweet Spot in Cycling: The Holy Grail?

6 min

The Sweet Spot

In cycling, the “Sweet Spot” is an intensity zone located just below your Functional Threshold Power (FTP). It’s about 88-94% of your FTP.

Why is it effective?

It is the intensity that offers the best “Physiological Gain / Fatigue Generated” ratio. You can hold this intensity for a long time (40, 60, 90 minutes for the well-trained) and repeat sessions several times a week.

When to use it?

  • In the Base phase.
  • To prepare for long climbs.
  • When you have little time (1h-1h30).

Jolkia integrates Sweet Spot blocks to boost your FTP sustainably.
