Plan Description
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 the Big Sugar Lifetime event (100 miles of gravel in NW Arkansas). 1-day gravel events are lengthy and usually feature plenty of climbing (Big Sugar is no exception!). 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.
Why Buy From Me?
- Detailed, flexible plan from elite-level, experienced coach (35+ years)
- Strength & Conditioning guidance for off-the-bike training
