Hour Of Power Workout ((INSTALL)) Download

For me, yeah. But my strength is riding around threshold/long TTE. Pretty sure my 2hr power would be in the 90s fairly easily, and I could hold 85% for well over 2hrs. Will test this spring as I prepare for a 4hr race that may end up DIY.
The recent thread about the last 1 minute of the ramp test (Fun with TR training analytics...what's this number for all forum members?) and how long you can hold it got me thinking. One goal going into this winter block is not only to raise my FTP, but extend the time I can hold FTP efforts in an attempt to get close to holding it for an hour or at least increase my 1-hour power. So I thought of two metrics using your power duration curve: longest time at current FTP, and 1-hour power as a % of current FTP.
Last year I held my current FTP (249w) for 45mins in the middle of chemotherapy. This year I have only held it for just over 42mins. For an actual hour, I did just 3w less than my FTP mid chemo last year and this year 22w less. I was definitely stronger mid chemo
The Power Hour workout is one of those seldom-used divine training interventions. Its potential benefits and risks are tied to the complex interconnection between the brain and body, from the cellular level on up, and the adaptations that can only happen when every physiological system is pushed to the limit.
For races 100K and longer, the predictions are a bit less reliable, usually related to the random crap that can happen over 8+ hours on race day. But overall, the predictions are damn solid (I even did it once in an article, predicting Katie Asmuth and Drew Holmen would excel before they finished top 5 at the 2021 Western States 100, a year when the iRunFar Groupthink predictions had them 15th+). Megan usually wins though, because she is very smart and can be intimidatingly competitive about bragging rights.
Aerobically, the magic of the Power Hour is the duration. To finish the session strongly, an athlete has to pace easier than critical velocity/power, so the primary input is from the aerobic system. Imagine it like one of those health bars from Mortal Kombat. The Power Hour starts with a full green bar, and ends with an aerobic fatality. An athlete can respawn with some aerobic supercompensation.
For the overall fitness benefits, it can be anytime within a build cycle for an athlete who has developed their aerobic system with easy running and speed through consistent workouts. Max efforts should be reserved for key training days with easy running or rest for a few days on either side of the session. More moderate tempo efforts can be placed within long runs every few weeks, with some extending up to 90 minutes or 2 hours for advanced athletes.
But for maximum return on your time investment, having a solid workout plan in place is key. Pre-planning lets you move around the gym with purpose, without wasting precious time wondering what to do next.

Whether squeezed into your lunch break or tacked onto your commute, one hour workouts can have huge benefits on your physical and mental wellbeing. Regular sessions that include both aerobic and resistance elements will put you well on your way to achieving (and even exceeding) the minimum amount of activity needed for good health.
The number of calories burned in a 1 hour gym workout depends on many factors such as your height, weight, body composition, so this number will vary person to person and the activity and intensity, so it will also vary workout to workout.
Whilst it may be useful to know how much calories you might be burning to take into consideration your energy balance, tracking calories isn't for everyone and it isn't necessary. Completing a workout in order to reach a calorie target or exercising to burn calories would not be recommended and could do more harm than good, so it's important to consider whether tracking would be beneficial for you.
If you haven't exercised for some time or are new to working out, it's a good idea to start with one to three one-hour gym workouts per week and focus on showing up consistently and then gradually build up from there if you want to.
Ask yourself how many sessions would be feasible for you to realistically stick to. Trying to squeeze in 5 workouts per week when you can only realistically manage 3 workouts per week will not be sustainable and would more likely leave you feeling a failure because you keep missing two workouts and forgetting that you are doing well by keeping active and going to the gym consistently three time per week.
When it comes to building strength, an hour-long session is more than adequate for both beginners and intermediates. It will allow you time for a 5-10 minute warm-up, 40-45 minutes of weight training and 5-10 minutes of cooling down and stretching.
Short, super-high-intensity workouts can help to improve speed, strength, power and aerobic fitness, particularly if you're short on time. However, performing high intensity workouts are likely to be more physically demanding which will likely mean you need more time to recovery from training. Ensure you get a good amount of rest in-between sessions.
Longer, less intense cardio sessions of up to an hour can help to improve cardiovascular endurance, lunge capacity and are usually not as physically demanding. This type of workout would likely mean you will need less time than HIIT training would require to recovery, so over the span of a week, you could do more running sessions.
Remember, more doesn't necessarily mean better results. Rest and recovery in-between session is just as important as your training. Make sure to allow yourself enough time to recover from your workouts.
How it works: Warm up for six minutes on the exercise bike at a low resistance level, aiming for a range of 80 to 90 RPM. After your warm up, perform each of the exercises for 30 seconds with a 30 second rest in between. Do the workout three times then include a short stretching routine of static stretches at the end.
How it works: Warm up your body. Make sure your warm-up also includes slow, controlled wrist and neck circles, shoulder circles and glute activation exercises. Then perform one set of each kettlebell moves back-to-back to keep your heart rate up. Do the entire kettlebell workout three times then a short stretching routine at the end.
CorePower Yoga also offers both Hot Power Fusion (HPF) and Yoga Sculpt training, with the HPF being the only other YA-recognized 200-hour training program. I really wanted to do the PYTT program specifically, so I lucked out.
