Why Benchmarking Matters
Ever wonder why some athletes make rapid gains while others plateau? The secret isn’t just hard work, it’s benchmarking. Without knowing your starting point, training can be guesswork. The right test, from an FTP or ramp test for endurance to short maximal efforts for power, gives you the data to train smarter, not harder. Benchmarking transforms every session into a targeted, purposeful workout, accelerates progress, and ensures recovery is effective. Plus, regular re-testing keeps your training in sync with your improving fitness, so you stay ahead of stagnation and build sustainable, long-term performance. Discover how to train with clarity, confidence, and measurable results.
