01How Much Racing Is Enough?Fitness development, averaged across all seven thresholds, peaks at three race sessions per week. Beyond that, the response reshapes: threshold and VO2max keep climbing while sprint power declines.READ → 02What's Your FTP in Minutes?Your FTP is the watts at your threshold. It has never told you how long that threshold lasts. PTA measures that duration, calls it Offset, and shows what each ride does to it.READ → 03What Power Alone Can't Tell YouOne athlete, two Seats, ten months.READ → 04Your FTP Is a SeatYou already read one threshold's power and call it FTP. PTA measures that same number at seven thresholds, then adds the dimension FTP never had: time.READ → 05How to Read a SeatPower and Offset, and why they are read together.READ → 06Model DepthWhat each wearable platform measures about thresholds.READ → 07LoomLoom renders athletic development as color and light. Each day becomes a column of color.
