Plan Description

Watts Ahead… a Sportive or Fondo (6-Week Plan)

For beginner and recreational cyclists, returning riders, or anyone signed up for a 40–100 km sportive/fondo who’s 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 doesn’t.

I’m Robert Ferguson, a 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 — just 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, faster, and more confident — with a modest side of dry humour to keep things fun.

If you do have any questions pleas email me at robert@fergusonscoaching.co.uk
