8-WEEK RACE SIMULATION TRAINING PLAN
Surge, attack and win. This 8-week race simulation plan trains the messy, decisive efforts that real bike races are made of — the accelerations, the surges, the sustained pressure and the sprint — so on race day nothing comes as a shock.
WHO IT'S FOR
Criterium, road and circuit racers who want race-specific fitness and the confidence to follow moves, bridge gaps and contest the finish. Fully indoor- and Zwift-compatible; every session is built around your FTP, so it works on any smart trainer.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
Repeatable high-end power, the ability to recover between efforts, and race-craft fitness: covering attacks, riding through surges and producing a finishing kick after an hour of hard racing.
HOW IT WORKS
Five rides a week across roughly 6 to 8 hours, with two rest days. Mixed-intensity race-simulation sessions — attacks, over-unders, VO2 surges and sprints — build through the block, supported by endurance and recovery rides. A recovery week and a final simulation sharpen you for race day.
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. Race to win.
