Plan Description
This plan is designed to get you ready for your best Paris to Ancaster yet! It is 12 weeks long and starts in late January (12 weeks from the event). The first week is about getting started with following a plan and a few baseline efforts.
Consummate Athletes are big on preparation so we have included reminders about preparation, bike setup and critical event specific workouts to ensure you are ready to thrive on race day mentally and physically.
It includes guidance for power, heart rate and RPE. It is ideal to use all 3 but you can use any of the 3 and still have great success.
Is This Plan For You?
It is appropriate for riders who have raced and trained before but you do not need to be a serious pro. It is designed for busy people who have 5-8 hours of training most weeks with some flexibility to do more for a couple of weekends. The plan does provide options to extend or shorten workouts based on your schedule.
This plan is set to end on the event weekend so can not be applied to other weekends. BUT we do have other plans you can use for gravel races. (See all of our plans here )
What Does It Include?
Structured Workout Downloads are included for most bike workouts ( for Garmin / Zwift Etc ). Some workouts do not have download to keep thing simple and provide freedom from focus and devices! (e.g. ride endurance for 3 hours). The first 2 months include for more indoor oriented workouts but all can be done outside.
-
A basic core routine and 1-2 weekly yoga sessions are provided and encouraged throughout the plan
You can use this plan by HR, Power or RPE - you do not need to use downloads as the title and description of each workout should allow for completion of the key elements of the workout.
The plan is 6-10 hours a week with options noted to extend or reduce as your schedule, fitness and goals dictate
Do you have an Irregular Schedule or Want a Custom Training Plan?
Consummate Athlete offers a 3 months Made For You Plan, which eliminate much of the friction of pre-made plans because it takes your schedule, goals, equipment, and abilities into account
