Designed for the Recreational Cyclist who is looking to improve fitness or compete in a Century Ride. The plan will help improve power and help obtain higher speeds over longer distances. It is even a good plan for someone who has been out of the sport for a few years and is looking to get back into cycling. It takes into account the daily grind of a working athlete and limits workout time per week to about 7 hours. You peak early at week 8. The weekend of week 8 is the ideal week for racing, but weeks 9 - 11 are designed to maintain and slightly improve the fitness gained. If you have only been able to get the minimum time in the saddle for each workout, weeks 9 - 11 will help you get that extra power back in the legs.
