Thanks for checking out one of my training plans! I'd love to start working with you.
This training plan will get you ready to tackle any of the events the Belgian Waffle Ride Series. These 1-day events are lengthy and features plenty of climbing. Throw in a fair amount of dirt/gravel rural roads and you have a truly unique riding experience.
This plan is appropriate for any non-beginner cyclist who has previously handled a consistent 7-12hrs/week of training. You can execute most of the plan with only a heart rate monitor, but several workouts will be more effective with a power meter. The plan begins with field tests to establish your fitness benchmarks. These tests will allow you to set up reasonable training zones and guide the intensity of workouts throughout the plan.
Even though the Belgian Waffle Rides have a some extended climbing, you can properly prepare without having access to mountains. You just have to commit to "climbing-type" efforts. In reality, your body and working muscles don't know whether you are climbing or not, it's all effort level.
