Whether you’re seasoned amateur racer or a keen rider who is just beginning to add more structure to your training, setting fitness baselines and keeping track of your progress is extremely important.

There are numerous methods for gauging where your fitness is at, but the one that's most widely used is the Functional Threshold Power test (FTP). This can be conducted easily on the best indoor training apps for cycling - including Zwift - and having an accurate idea of your FTP is also useful for ensuring that your training sessions are done at the correct intensity so that you get the most out of your sessions.
