Plan Description
8-WEEK MASTERS OVER 40 CYCLING TRAINING PLAN
Stay strong, fast and powerful after 40. This 8-week masters cycling plan is designed for the older athlete: it delivers the high-quality intensity that preserves power and speed as you age, while building in the extra recovery your body now needs to absorb it.
WHO IT'S FOR
Masters cyclists and triathletes over 40 who want to hold onto — or rebuild — their top-end power, climb well and stay competitive, without the deep fatigue that derails recovery. Fully indoor- and Zwift-compatible; every session is built around your FTP, so it works on any smart trainer.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
Maintained and improved threshold and high-intensity power, sharper legs, and a smarter balance of hard work and recovery that keeps you fresh and progressing rather than run down.
HOW IT WORKS
Five rides a week across roughly 6 to 8 hours, with two rest days and generous easy riding. Threshold, VO2 and sweet spot work provides the potent stimulus masters need, spaced by recovery so adaptation actually happens. A recovery week and a final test confirm your gains.
WHAT YOU NEED
A smart trainer or power meter and a set FTP. Every workout is fully structured and downloads straight to your head unit or Zwift.
Each session includes coach's notes explaining what it does, how it should feel and how to pace it. Built by Evolve Coaching. Train smarter. Stay strong.
