I rode 15,252 kilometers and improved my FTP to 320 watts (I weigh 64 kg).
You're riding 3 hours a day indoors, all year? Congrats to you, my mental stamina for trainer riding is nowhere close to that level.In 2025, I rode approx. 39.000 km, 1050 hours and averaged 245w. A bit less than last year. FWIW, most of it was indoor riding and zone 2 + zone 3 stuff. I have probably lost the ability to really go really deep, so I don't implement much intensity above threshold in my indoor training nowadays - it is only really something I do when riding outside and I want to chase a KOM or PB.
Not all on the trainer (maybe 30.000 km) and I will also take occasional rest days. But 5-6 hour days on the trainer is not uncommon. I find that social rides with friends or family on Zwift make it easier. Of course a bit of mental toughness is required to make it a routine to get up 5am in the morning and blast out 2 hours before work.You're riding 3 hours a day indoors, all year?
