FTP : Functional Threshold Power
BikeThe maximum power in watts you can sustain for 1 hour on the bike.
FTP is the anchor for cycling plans. It defines your intensity zones (Z1 recovery, Z2 endurance, Z4 threshold, Z5 VO2max) from a single number. A 250 W FTP means you can sustain that power for about one hour before full exhaustion.
In TriPaced:
In TriPaced, your FTP is auto-detected from your Strava activities (20-60 min max efforts). It feeds into every prescribed bike session and into your fitness metrics (CTL/ATL/TSB).
