Training plan testimonial

“After looking at the training plans Richard offered on his website and then an email conversation back and back forth I was advised the Mountain Gran Fondo plan would be most suitable for the Mallorca 312 event I had in just over 12 weeks. The plan was incredibly detailed, each day showing exactly which characteristics of my power profile I would be working on. Each routine was set up in a way that you could carry out outside or on a turbo trainer. I saw improvements in all the timed intervals - Peak 5 sec up to Peak 60 minute (RHE) If you want a really challenging training plan that will push you pass your limits (and hurt a lot at times) but will also deliver you to the starting line in ideal form then I highly recommend this. I'm a 46 year old rider not in any clubs and managed the Mallorca 312 in just over 11 hours (Top 500 out of 8000) with the support of Richard's plan.”
