Whether it's a PR on the Alpe de Zwift or crushing your local weekend climb with your buddies looking on everybody wants to be a stronger climber!

The key to being a good climber is the ability to maintain a high level of intensity for a sustained duration of time. Finding the balance between just how hard you go and for how long is tricky but this plan will help you. Being able to maintain efforts that work above, at and below your threshold will improve your ability to go hard when the road goes up.

This is an 8 week plan (there are three days of week 9 for your follow on FTP Test). Every workout is structured but you have the option of skipping the Saturday workout and joining an IRL or Zwift group ride, just follow the instructions in the workout. With the structured workouts you can use Zwift or take the workouts to the road and sync them to your head unit!

Now it's time to start thinking about your target hill. We will tackle it in Week 1 to get a Baseline and then again in Week 8 to mark the improvement!

Oh and Week 1 and Week 9 have an FTP Test too!
