5w/kg is properly strong. I was reading somewhere that very aerobically inclined athletes tend to need to add significant volume for further adaptation, also from anecdotal evidence from very fast runner friends.
20-24h a week of zone 1/zone 2 riding might boost your FTP (just a winter of growing bigger vascular network maybe) but noone has the time for that...

Hmm yeah maybe. I’m not doing that, but maybe just more base /sweet spot and save the high intensity stuff for even closer to HC season.
On running, I managed a 40 min 10k with no interval training, just trying to run harder a few times a week for a couple of months. Not meant to be a boast post, just adding to your data set for internet diagnoses.

Haha! Yeah that’d be great.
Can’t seem to shift my FTP past 300w though. This year I’ve done ~30% more structured interval training on the turbo compared to the last two seasons and I’m no faster. If anything I’m a bit slower this year.
