Arrive on the start line fresh, sharp and confident with this focused 2 week taper for riders on 12 plus hours a week. This is your race week done right, shedding fatigue while keeping the sharp race pace edge you built over your training block.

WHO IT IS FOR. High volume cyclists and triathletes with a race, sportive or event in exactly two weeks who want to peak on the day. It links straight onto any Evolve build plan as your final fortnight, or drops onto your own training. Your FTP carries in from your build, so there is no test to steal freshness.

HOW IT PROGRESSES. Week one keeps intensity sharp while volume falls, with micro burst openers, broken threshold blocks and a Saturday race rehearsal at goal power. Week two tapers deeper, opening with rest then brief daily primers that keep the legs race ready into event day.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT. Every ride is short, every effort is race specific, and total load drops around 40 to 50 percent across the fortnight. No junk miles, no fatigue, just freshness with an edge. Each session carries a science reference and a clear fuelling and pacing cue.

WHAT TO EXPECT EACH WEEK. Week one about 8 hours across seven rides that sharpen and shed. Week two about 4 hours plus race day, arriving primed. Every ride is Zwift and indoor trainer compatible with power in percent of FTP.
