Power zones for a 350W FTP

The seven Coggan power zones — the canonical zone model every power-meter-based training system uses — calculated for an FTP of 350 watts. Plus common workout targets (sweet spot, threshold, VO2max, over-unders) in watts so you don’t have to do arithmetic on the bike.

Coggan zones at 350W FTP

ZoneName% FTPWattsPurpose
z1Active Recovery0–55% of FTP0–193 WPromote recovery; shake out fatigue without adding load.
z2Endurance56–75% of FTP196–263 WBuild aerobic base — mitochondrial density, fat oxidation, capillary growth.
z3Tempo76–90% of FTP266–315 WExtend endurance with a harder stimulus; race-pace for long events.
z4Lactate Threshold91–105% of FTP319–368 WRaise FTP; improve lactate shuttling and sustainable power.
z5VO2max106–120% of FTP371–420 WIncrease maximal aerobic power; push VO2 ceiling.
z6Anaerobic Capacity121–150% of FTP424–525 WDevelop anaerobic system; critical for surges and attacks.
z7Neuromuscular Power151%+ of FTP529+ WTrain short-duration maximal efforts — sprints, jumps.
