Who this plan is for
- ✅ You want to lose weight on the bike with real structure, not random junk miles
- ✅ You can ride 4 days a week (average week around 8:00) and lift twice a week at a gym
- ✅ You have a smart trainer and/or power meter
- 👉 Short on time? Take the 8-week version. Want the full season? The 16-week build.
Plan details
- 👉 Method: polarized 80/20 (80% low intensity, 20% high intensity) - the same methodology we use with our 1-1 coached athletes
- 👉 Built for fat loss: most of your weekly volume sits in the fat-burning low-intensity zone
- 👉 12 weeks, 1 recovery week every 3 building weeks
- 👉 4 rides per week (longest 4:30) + 2 gym strength sessions to protect muscle while you lose weight
- 👉 Power based: every session syncs to your head unit or smart trainer as a structured workout
- 👉 Testing session in week 1 and re-testing mid-plan, so your zones stay current as you improve
- ♻️ Re-usable: apply the plan again free, unlimited times. It never gets easier, you get faster
