The 8-week Build | Sportive plan is designed to raise your fitness from a solid base to a level ready for event demands. This phase focuses on increasing aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, and sustained power - all key for longer, undulating rides.
Sessions target tempo, sweetspot, and threshold efforts to develop the ability to ride harder for longer. Recovery is managed carefully to support consistent progress without burnout.
This plan bridges the gap between base training and peak performance, preparing you for the demands of your target sportive.
I am a performance-focused cycling coach specialising in power-based training and applied physiology. I work with athletes to align their training precisely with the demands of their target events. Using detailed physiological analysis, advanced tools such as TrainingPeaks and WKO5, and insights from my own physiology lab, I create response-driven training strategies that support long-term development and peak performance.
