The Best AI Training Plan to Increase FTP and Get Race-Ready

If you’re wondering whether it’s too late to train for your next event, the answer is absolutely not!

Even with just a few weeks’ time, TrainerRoad’s AI-driven cycling training plans can get you race-ready by following three simple steps.

Step 1: Create a Custom Training Plan

Your training should fit your goals, not the other way around. TrainerRoad analyzes your entire training history to understand what balance of training and recovery you need to get faster. It then uses this information to build a fully custom AI-driven custom plan designed for your unique schedule, training history, and target events. Whether you have weeks or months to prepare, your plan is optimized for maximum improvement.

Training should be dynamic and not static. That’s why TrainerRoad’s custom training plans will adjust in real time, ensuring every workout is the right one to bring you to peak fitness for your event. No more guesswork—just the most effective training every time you ride.

Step 2: Prioritize Interval Work for Maximum Adaptations

To get race-ready in a limited timeframe, it’s critical to focus on working the correct energy systems. Structured interval training is one of the most effective ways to improve power output and efficiency. There are multiple ways to build aerobic fitness, but high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is very effective at eliciting adaptations.

TrainerRoad’s training plans strategically incorporate interval work that targets specific energy systems—such as VO2 max, threshold, and anaerobic capacity—to ensure cyclists maximize their performance gains. Data from thousands of TrainerRoad users confirm that consistent interval work leads to measurable FTP increases, allowing athletes to perform at their best on race day.

Step 3: Stick to the Plan and Stay Consistent

When working within a short timeframe, following your training plan as closely as possible is going to be your best bet! Skipping key sessions or frequently modifying the structure can compromise the effectiveness of your training. Staying consistent, prioritizing recovery when scheduled, and trusting the process will help ensure you reach peak fitness at the right time.

TrainerRoad isn’t just another cycling app—it’s a science-backed training system designed to make you faster. Athletes in over 150 countries around the world trust our structured workouts and data-driven approach to increase their FTP and improve race performance.

What Cyclists Are Saying

 “I finally took the plunge this past winter and I am a convert for life. The results speak for themselves.  This winter I went from an FTP of 259W to 283W without any extra time (and maybe less) on the bike.  I went from mid-pack to on the podium for my age group at the state champs sprint tri, including increasing my bike split by over a mile an hour on the same route, equipment, and conditions.”
