2-Week Race Readiness: Power Boost III

The 2-Week Race Readiness: Power Boost plan is a short, sharp training block designed to rapidly lift your threshold and VO₂ max, sharpening top-end power and conditioning so you arrive at race day feeling fit, responsive, and ready to perform.

Who’s it for?
This training plan is aimed at intermediate to advanced cyclists who already have a solid endurance base and want a sharp performance lift heading into racing or a key event. It’s ideal for riders targeting road races, sportives, circuit racing, triathlon bike legs, or any scenario where strong threshold power and the ability to repeat hard efforts really matter.

Is it for you?
When race day is close, it’s no longer about building base fitness; it’s about sharpening what you already have. Real-world racing demands the ability to ride hard at threshold, respond to surges, push above FTP when it counts, and still function under fatigue. This 2-week Race Readiness: Power Boost plan is designed to do exactly that. It focuses on lifting VO₂ max, sharpening threshold power, and improving your ability to handle high-intensity work so you arrive feeling fit, responsive, and confident, not flat or overcooked.

What’s involved?
This is a short, sharp, high-impact training block built to deliver meaningful gains in a limited time frame. Over two focused weeks you’ll work across key performance zones, with an emphasis on threshold and VO₂ max development.

Sessions include:
- Structured threshold intervals to raise sustainable power
- VO₂ max efforts to lift your aerobic ceiling
- Short, punchy efforts above FTP to improve responsiveness
- Fatigue-resistant work to sharpen race readiness

The goal isn’t long-term progression or base building, it’s to fine-tune fitness, sharpen top-end power, and arrive at your next race feeling ready to perform.

This is a demanding plan by design, but it’s controlled, purposeful, and effective, the kind of work that delivers a noticeable boost when timing matters most.
