Plan Description
Updated: 01/07/2024
This reusable 12-week Competitive Indoor Base training plan aims to improve your aerobic endurance, fat utilization, body composition, muscular endurance and prepare your body for intense training
From the coach..., often the most common question cyclists have about base training is how many hours per week they should ride. There is no definitive answer to this question, as it depends on factors such as your current fitness, available time, training history, target events and personal preferences. However, a general guideline is to aim for 8 to 12 hours of low to moderate-intensity riding (with some strength training to improve muscle function) per week, and this plan does just that.
Who is this plan for: Competitive or cyclist with a high fitness level and can be used across a range of disciplines.
When to start: Any time of the year. Or 5.5 months before your A-priority race.

The Plan Layout
Three blocks. Each block has three weeks of specific workouts that vary in duration, intensity and frequency, and rest days. Week three is followed by a recovery week to shed accumulated fatigue and prevent overtraining and injury.
To optimize training, workouts are scheduled in a specific order to match expected fatigue, and allow for adequate recovery times based on workout intensity. Additionally, training nutrition and hydration guidance, and strength and flexibility exercises are included to enhance the overall quality of your workouts.
Day 1 of the plan starts with a functional threshold power test to ensure you are training at the right level.
