Plan Description

4 Month training plan for track pursuit.

Outline of the plans developments are below:
• Tempo and short threshold efforts
• Tempo and threshold
• Threshold and spiked efforts
• V02max intervals and sprint efforts
• HIIT and starts

This plan is based on no access to a track but can be adapted to include track time.

Any session/effort that is 5 minutes or under can be amended to be a pursuit effort.

Warm up and warm down during the session after each effort on rollers. Gearing should start small and increase as fitness/power increases.

Seated and standing starts should be included throughout the programme and any effort 1 minute or under can be conducted in this manner.

Tests throughout to keep the zones current and reflective of your current level. FTP based on initial test and updated via ramp tests. V02max power is the same as the peak 1 min power during ramp tests so this figure can be used to ensure training zones beyond FTP are correct.

Any questions please get in contact.
