Plan Description

This is an 18 week plan to increase your FTP and your Fitness designed for a cyclist who is riding at least 4 - 6 hours per week currently.

The first week and final week are taper weeks. The first week we will do a couple of lighter rides and AN FTP on Saturday. The final week will be similar with an FTP test on Saturday.

Please note that your Longer group rides and Riders choice have no assigned TSS.

Should you need to move workouts around this can be done at your disgression.

The periodization is based on 4 week blocks. Build, Build, Build, Rest/Test Week.

The blocks are as follows:
Block 1: Endurance/Tempo
Block 2: Tempo/Sweetspot
Block 3: Sweetspot/FTP/Threshold
Block 4: Sweetspot/Threshold/Vo2
