Program Description:
This 8-week program is designed for beginner level cyclists (who have jobs, families and other life commitments) who want to train for a specific ½ distance (roughly 60km) Gran Fondo as their season goal.
This program will require 6-12 hours per week. You can expect to have 5-6 workouts per week.
If you have taken a break and are just starting back to a regular training routine, we recommend completing the 4-week Maintenance/Off-Season Program. We wish you the best of luck with your training.
Pre-Requisites:
Athletes taking part in this program can be new to riding. No pre-requisites required.
Athletes should also consider doing the 4-week Maintenance/Off-Season program to
start or the 8-week General Preparation program for beginners.
Programs to follow this one:
There are several great programs you can use to continue on from this one. You can try the General Preparation Program or you can try the Gran Fondo Advanced Program for longer events.
Other things you should know:
All of the bike sessions have been designed for outdoor riding but can easily be
duplicated indoors. If you are planning to ride indoors, please keep the main set the
same but scale the warm-up and cool down to 60-70% of the written duration.
During this program you will build for 7 weeks and finish off with a tapering week to get ready for the event.
