Sport scientist and performance coach of ProTour cyclists and Czech national track cycling team Erik Kimmel has build up a training plan, which focuses mostly on building of aerobic capacity through trainings based on physiology principles. Most of the cyclists have cardiovascular limitations (low rate of cardiac output, low capacity of O2 utilization and so on) and these are the main target of this training plan. The other target of the training plan is strength training, which focus on anatomical adaptation, absolut strength and power.
The training plan is made for indoor cycling and strength session done at home.
Physiology principles of training are set up thanks to long term using of Moxy Monitor, advanced manipulation of respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Training intensity is manipulated and controlled via heart rate zones and rating of perceived exertion (RPE).
This training plan can be used as 4-week base preparation. Final week is made as a kind of deload/test week, so after that you can add one more same 4-week cycle, where you will continue with adjusted intensities based on your testings.
BeProTraining - become a better version of yourself!
Sport scientist and performance coach of professional cyclists and Czech national track cycling team focuses on physiology training and finding the limiting factors of each athlete on the level as central system (cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular system), neuromuscular system (muscle force and power) and technical/strategy preparation.
