Plan Description
Learn to ride smoother, stronger, and more efficiently through structured cadence progression, gear awareness, and real-world pedaling skill — without relying on ERG mode.
Many athletes struggle with cadence because they chase numbers instead of learning control. This program teaches you how cadence, gearing, and power work together to improve efficiency and performance.
This plan prioritizes real-world cycling skill — athletes are encouraged to use gearing to control resistance rather than relying solely on ERG mode, building a stronger connection between cadence, power, and efficient pedaling.
Who This Is For
- Riders comfortable with 45–65 minute structured workouts
- Athletes wanting smoother pedaling
- Triathletes or cyclists seeking efficiency.
What Makes This Different
- Gear-based cadence development
- Progressive cadence exposure
- Torque + cadence integration
- Built-in reference rides
Outcomes
- Improved pedaling efficiency
- Better gear selection
- Stronger low-cadence control
- Confidence riding across cadence ranges.
Designed by Coach Jill Bartholomew — triathlon coach, endurance athlete, and founder of Be Fierce Multisport, helping athletes build efficiency, strength, and confidence through smarter training.
