Plan Description

Do you struggle to fit your cycle training in with work and family? Only have 3 -4 hours per week to train?

Then THIS training plan is for you!

Getting consistency with your training is key to improving as a cyclist. It is far better to train regularly rather than just here and there when you have time. This is why I put together the "Time Crunched Training Plan" ⏰

This training plan has been designed for anyone who has limited time to train but wants to get the most out of every session. It is based on less than 4 hours per week and each session is only 45minutes long so this is ideal if you are super short of time. You can even be back at your desk within the hour at lunchtime!

Each workout has been specially created by some of the top endurance coaches and selected to give you the best use of your limited training time available. There will be 5 workouts throughout the week which are a maximum of 45minutes in length and can be moved to suit your lifestyle but aim to keep in the same order that they are shown. The plan and sessions are yours to keep and reuse as many times as you like. You can even move the session on by a couple of weeks to extend the plan if you wish.

There are also tips, tricks and advice included throughout the plan to help you make the most of your time and to even find ways of finding more training time available!

This plan can be used although it is not recommended to use it repeatedly every 6 weeks as your training will plateau and you can risk overtraining. As with any training, it is important to overload, progress and vary your training so your body is always adapting.
