CX Academy is developed under the USA Cycling Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Model. LTAD focuses on rider development across a structured paradigm of progression from FUN to Racing To Win over the course of 5 levels
This plan is made for athletes in Phases 3 and 4: Train and Compete / Compete to Win
good for athletes U16 with racing experience
There is a program PDF that includes details on the LTAD model and the specific workouts, skills, and abilities to focus on. We also include our skills, abilities, and workouts schedule.
This is the same schedule we've use with our Sterling Performance Academy athletes and affiliated teams over the last five years.
Welcome! I'm really pleased actually...I just re-wrote all my posted training plans in July '26. Incorporating new research, updating the workouts to a more progressive overload and adding pre and post testing weeks to the mix so you can see the results (and hopefully share them with me - it gets you a 20% off coupon for the next program!
Basically, I've chosen to create a relationship with you rather than just a plan. Curious? Drop me a note and let's talk - info@sterlingwins.com
