8-WEEK STRENGTH & TORQUE TRAINING PLAN
Build raw pedaling force. This 8-week strength and torque plan develops muscular force on the bike through low-cadence, big-gear work — the foundation that makes every other kind of power feel easier, from steep climbs to standing starts.
WHO IT'S FOR
Cyclists who want stronger legs and more torque: climbers, time triallists, track and crit riders, and anyone who feels they run out of force on steep gradients. Fully indoor- and Zwift-compatible; every session is built around your FTP, so it works on any smart trainer.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
Greater muscular force and torque, stronger low-cadence power for climbs and accelerations, and improved durability so your legs hold up late in long rides and races.
HOW IT WORKS
Five rides a week across roughly 6 to 8 hours, with two rest days. Progressive low-cadence strength and torque intervals build through the block, paired with threshold work and supported by endurance and recovery rides. A recovery week and a final test track your progress.
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. Build force.
