Power zones for a 395W FTP

The seven Coggan power zones — the canonical zone model every power-meter-based training system uses — calculated for an FTP of 395 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 395W FTP

ZoneName% FTPWattsPurpose
z1Active Recovery0–55% of FTP0–217 WPromote recovery; shake out fatigue without adding load.
z2Endurance56–75% of FTP221–296 WBuild aerobic base — mitochondrial density, fat oxidation, capillary growth.
z3Tempo76–90% of FTP300–356 WExtend endurance with a harder stimulus; race-pace for long events.
z4Lactate Threshold91–105% of FTP359–415 WRaise FTP; improve lactate shuttling and sustainable power.
z5VO2max106–120% of FTP419–474 WIncrease maximal aerobic power; push VO2 ceiling.
z6Anaerobic Capacity121–150% of FTP478–593 WDevelop anaerobic system; critical for surges and attacks.
z7Neuromuscular Power151%+ of FTP596+ WTrain short-duration maximal efforts — sprints, jumps.
