Watts Ahead… Ready for a Sportive or Fondo: 6-Week Plan
For beginner and recreational cyclists, returning riders, or anyone signed up for a 40–100 km sportive or fondo who is short on time, and maybe a little late to the party.
What You’ll Get
✔️ 6 weeks of progressive training to build endurance, confidence, and pacing
✔️ Structured workouts with clear goals, and a little bit of humour in the notes
✔️ Weekend rides that simulate your event day, building from 90 minutes to 3+ hours
✔️ Recovery days, tapering, and real-world flexibility
✔️ No faff. No fluff. No £300 upsell for race-day socks. Just a solid plan.
Why Buy from Watts Ahead…?
Watts Ahead… plans are created by a coach who knows what works, and what does not.
I’m Robert Ferguson, a UCI / UNIL Certificate of Advanced Studies Coach, UCI Level 3 Diploma Coach, and British Cycling Level 3 Coach, with over a decade of experience helping real-world riders balance life, training, and performance.
These plans are practical, honest, and grounded in the same coaching principles I use with national-level riders, simplified and reworked for everyday cyclists.
You won’t find overpromises, celebrity endorsements, or cookie-cutter nonsense.
Just quality training, designed to help you get fitter, ride further, pace better, and arrive at your event with more confidence, with a modest side of dry humour to keep things human.
