Who is this plan for?
This plan is appropriate for newer cyclists preparing for their first Gran Fondo, as well as for masters athletes and experienced cyclists who need or prefer a relatively low-volume training program.

How Do I Measure My Intensity?
This plan presents workout intensity targets by Heart Rate, but a Power version of this plan is also available. Each workout can be exported to a supported device, which will automatically guide you through the session with duration, lap, and intensity prompts. See our Structured Workout page for more information.

80/20 Endurance is the creation of Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden. Based on the breakthrough books 80/20 Running and 80/20 Triathlon, runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes improve the most when they consistently do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the other 20 percent high intensity. The typical endurance athlete spends only 50-70 percent their total training time at low intensity. The solution? An 80/20 training plan that ensures the optimal intensity balance.
