Cycle For Fitness Limited

I work with cyclists from novice to club level to advance their lifetime fitness, endurance and wellbeing.

My coaching is based on science-based workouts and conditioning sessions to help develop resilience and build peak competitive performance specific to their goals.

Plans start with baseline fitness tests, with reviews to fine-tune duration and intensity, continuously optimising performance.

I also offer cycling holidays in Alicante/Valencia region of Spain.

Turbo - HR and Power Zone Test

To determine your training zones for the rest of the plan! Warm up on the turbo for 15min, taking your effort levels from 5/10 to 8/10 over 10min gradually then 5min easy. Next do 2x30s efforts at 90% max effort in a low gear, aiming to spin at 100+rpm with 2min easy in between. After the last 2min rest period do a 20min hard effort, aiming to start off at 8/10 effort and try to hold or increase this as you feel able to get your best possible effort out over the 20min. Cool down with 10min cooldown pedalling and record your average power and heart rate over the last 10min of the test and let me know.
