FTP is sooooo yesterday

[Racing roadkill]

It's all about the 4DP, or "four does more" training now. Sounds like another way to strip the gullible of their cash to me though.

I thought this was going to be about transferring files.

I've never bothered with FTP, I just ride.

A lot of this seems to have started around 2010 or so. You hear of cyclists talk about 'training', but they're just riding their bikes. That doesn't sound as impressive, though, so you hear them in pubs boring the non-cyclists with tales of their 'training'.

Pfft.

I'm glad FTP is dead, I've never really understood it. Can anyone explain 4DP as I think I'll be brilliant at it.

Load of nads. I will usually ride at threshold no matter if it’s 20 or 100. If I start to blow then ease back. It’s amazing how you can comfortably hold the pain for hours and still enjoy the ride. Usually the next ride will see PR’s.

Anyone know what 4DP is yet and how it's better than FTP.

Apparently @Racing roadkill knows enough about it to claim "Sounds like another way to strip the gullible of their cash to me though" but he hasn't returned with an explanation.
