      I just finished W8 of the Cat 1 XC Base Program.

      The documentation said to expect steady increase in FTP, but my 20min average numbers have been flat: 306, 307 & 307. In season I'm typically able to get up to 325 for 20min.

      I've been healthy and haven't had to miss any workouts yet.

      Should I be concerned?

      Thanks, Pat

      Pat,

      Stick to the plan. You should see an increase in your week #12 test as that follows the most threshold specific work. If you are still flat on the week #12 test it is then time to look at why.

      Week 12 power test went up to 320W. Nice improvement. Thanks!
