Cyclocross: Season Plan (Intermediate) - 20 Week - by KyleCoaching
This is a 20 week cyclocross plan. The plan consists of a combination of running, road bike (or cross bike), and cross bike training. The on the road training established endurance while the cross bike training develops skills. NOTE: 100% of the riding can be done on a cross bike.
The plan is about 10 hours total per week at its peak (including running). This plan can be used for intermediate and advanced racers. The intent of this program is to culminate with a state championship sometime in the December time frame.

WU: 15 minutes warm-up, just spinning at a nice easy pace
MS: 45 minutes of riding with watts from <75%, just nice and steady.
If you have to go over hills and your watts go higher, that's o.k, but generally average between 56 and 75% of FTP today.
CD: 15 minutes just easy pedaling.

Achieving success is a common goal, although the definition and its path are as varied as opinions of the best tire pressure to use during a muddy, wintery cyclocross race. While Feed Zone cookies may be a great recovery food after a race, a cookie cutter approach is something you will not experience with us.
