How fit is Dan… really? In this video, Dan puts himself to the test—literally—to find out how far off he is from peak cycling shape. With a huge endurance ride coming up in just 10 weeks (bigger than anything he tackled during his pro days!), It’s time to knuckle down. First up: a brutal FTP test on Zwift’s The Grade climb. His legs did not thank him. But with the help of top coach Simon Jones, Dan now has a brand new training plan to help boost his power and fitness. Watch Dan suffer, see the results, and find out what the next 10 weeks of pain and progress will look like. Let’s do this. 💪 🔗 Follow Dan's training on Strava:   / strava   00:00 How Low Is Dan’s FTP? 00:57 My Current Fitness Level 01:24 Why I’m Doing a Fitness Test 02:31 Choosing the Right Zwift Route 03:51 The FTP Test Begins 06:05 FTP Test Results (Ouch) 06:57 Meet My Coach: Simon Jones 15:28 My 10-Week Training Plan Useful Links: Join this channel to get access to perks 👉 …...more
