Plan Description
🏁 6-Week Sportive Builder (Beginner) | 4–6hr/week | Power-Based
Build the fitness, pacing, and confidence you need for your first big sportive or distance challenge — in just 4–6 hours per week.
This structured 6-week plan is perfect for new riders, busy athletes, or anyone preparing for their first event using power-based training. We’ve taken the guesswork out of how to train efficiently, so you can ride longer, feel stronger, and arrive ready — not wrecked.
✅ Plan Features:
4–6 hours/week — achievable volume for real-world schedules
One targeted intensity session per week — get faster without burnout
Power-based — structured workouts built around your personal FTP
Gradual progression — designed to build confidence, not crush you
What to Expect:
Each week includes one focused intensity workout (e.g. sub-threshold or tempo intervals) alongside endurance rides and recovery days. We start with an FTP test to set your zones and build from there.
You’ll improve:
Pacing skills and energy management for longer rides
Aerobic fitness and muscular endurance
Confidence riding solo or in groups at steady effort
Fatigue resistance without excessive weekly hours
Who This Is For:
Riders training for their first sportive or challenge event
Athletes new to structured power-based training
Cyclists riding 3x/week looking to train smart, not just ride more
Anyone with limited time but big goals
