Global Preparation for Peak Cycling Season (12 weeks) (Zwift compatible)
Global Preparation for Peak Cycling Season (12 weeks) (Zwift compatible)
Plan Description
A 12 week global Training Plan to boost all aspect of your cycling abilities ahead of your peak cycling season.
This cycling plan was designed using the core structure from the preparation I've done leading to different events such as the UCI Cycling eSport World Championships or Zwift Academy finals but also a Haute Route and numerous local CX seasons. The goal of this plan is to build a well balanced power profile and get you race ready for your next Zwift season and/or IRL event(s).
This plan is intended for the cyclist who has already a bit of experience using a power-based training plan and is best started 12 weeks ahead your next goal. Northern Hemisphere's Summer is perfect to follow this plan if your goal is to be ready for peak Zwift Racing season.
After a facultative pre-plan testing week, you will get 3 mesocycles of 4 weeks (3 weeks of training / 1 week of rest&recovery) with 4-to-5 workouts a week, for a weekly volume of about 10 hours with longer rides on the weekends to suit the time-crunched athletes better. The plan respect the progressive overload principle, so even if endurance rides can be extended and some workouts have additional bonus time at zone 2, make sure to respect the progression and plan ahead.
From week 8, to keep things exciting, you will have the opportunity to replace the prescribed Thursday's workout by either a WTRL Team Time Trial or a classic Zwift race.
Finally, be aware this plan is called "Global preparation" on purpose. If you want to peak a single event with specific demands, you should definitely consider adding another mesocycle with targeted workouts to be at your best on D-day. Feel free to contact me on my TP coaching profile if you need some help with that.

The plan was created using the TrainingPeaks “Workout Builder” format so that workouts may be uploaded to a device (heart rate monitor, power meter, indoor trainer, etc.) or a third-party app so that you can follow the details of the ride during the workouts.
