In this video, Coach Frank Overton (aka the BigCat) breaks down what Durability actually means, how it impacts your performance in long rides and races, and the 8 best ways to improve it — from increasing your training volume and adding long rides, to strategic interval placement and training when tired.

You'll learn: ✅ Why riders with the same FTP can have vastly different race results ✅ How to build a more “durable battery” that doesn’t fade late in races ✅ How to test your own Durability using power data from real rides ✅ Why FTP isn’t dead — and how Durability complements it

If you've ever faded in the final hour of a Fondo, gravel race, or road race, this video is for you. Training Durability is the tortoise-beats-the-hare strategy that helps you finish strong and outperform riders with even higher FTPs.

📈 Drop your questions in the comments — and if enough of you are interested, Coach Frank will make a follow-up video on how to test and track your Durability with power data.
