To be good at cyclocross you must address both your fitness and your bike handling skills. This training plan addresses both.
This 16 week training plan is designed for a Cat 4/5 cyclocross racer who is planning to compete in the Chicago Cyclocross Cup series. This plan is for a rider who plans to ride 4-5 times a week and do races that last 30-45 mins.
This plan has been used by Cat 4 Chicago Cyclocross Cup series winners and Cat 4 State Champions.
This plan will build fitness from Early September (9/6) through Mid-December with the goal of peaking for the Illinois State Championship and Midwest Regional Championship and finishing up with the Afterglow.
What the athlete can expect from me is that they are getting an experienced coach with many years experience leading people to their goals.
Each athlete seeks out different qualities in a coach, but my athletes typically seek out structure, accountability, teaching, analysis of data, strategy and emotional support to varying degrees.
