Build the engine that makes every kind of riding easier. This 8 week tempo plan develops sustained power and muscular endurance on just 5 to 6 hours a week, fully compatible with Zwift and any indoor trainer.
Tempo is the most useful intensity in cycling. It is the power that holds a breakaway, drives a long climb and keeps you strong when others fade. This plan trains it the smart way, with 2 to 3 focused tempo rides each week wrapped around easy endurance and recovery, so every hard minute counts and your body absorbs the work.
Over eight progressive weeks you move from foundation tempo blocks through sweet spot efforts and long tempo endurance rides, with a built in recovery week to keep you fresh and a peak week that delivers your biggest ride. Every session comes with a fully built power structure, clear pacing targets and coaching notes that explain what each ride does, how it should feel and how to nail it. A benchmark ride in Week 1 and again in Week 8 shows you exactly how much stronger you have become.
Who it is for: time crunched riders who want maximum return from limited hours, and anyone looking to raise their FTP, ride longer without fading and build the durable engine that underpins climbing, racing and long days out.
What you get: 8 weeks, 5 to 6 hours a week, structured power workouts every session, weekly guidance notes, a recovery week and a clear before and after benchmark. Indoor and Zwift ready, straight from your calendar.
