This plan is designed for indoor cyclists who race on a regular basis. If you compete on Zwift, MyWhoosh, Rouvy, or any other indoor cycling platform, then this training plan is for you. This plan can be completed at any point throughout the year, but it is best to begin this plan with a solid fitness base. If you're coming out of the off-season, you should start with the ZNC Indoor Cycling Base and ZNC Indoor Cycling Build training plans.

There are race days shown throughout this training plan, but you can move them around based on your schedule. The overall volume of this plan fluctuates between 5 and 8 hours per week.

The number of race days and intensity distribution are the main difference between this ZNC Race Plan and the ZNC Base and Build training plans. This plan contains more high-intensity workouts and race days, while the other plans include more endurance miles and tempo training. Prepare yourself for some tough workouts in the ZNC Race Plan.

Just because you're completing an indoor cycling plan doesn't mean you can't ride outside. If you'd prefer to ride outside, head out the door for your recovery rides and endurance sessions. Save most of the high-intensity sessions for the indoor trainer. If you'd like to add more volume to this plan, ride an extra hour or two at 60% FTP after your intervals.
