About this video

Gravel Training is not the same as training for the road and neither should your power-based metrics. FTP is not as important nor is your peak 20 minute power. Nor your 5 minute power. They are important, just not as much as the power-based training principles which are entirely based off of the power demands of road racing. In this video podcast, we are going to give you the power based metrics to pay attention to for your gravel training and racing!

What's your 5 hour power? What's more important is how long you can ride hard for 3, 4 & 5 hours. 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!
