Plan Description
The 8 week Gravel Grinder plan will build your VO2 max and Neuromuscular strength which is so critical for Gravel Grind events. We are going to be stressing your high end aerobic system. You can also use this plan at the start of your season before you start introducing any high intensity sessions, or during the season when you feel you need a boost to the aerobic system.
Preceding Plan: This should be preceded by a base block/plan
Next Plan: This plan should be followed by an FTP/Anaerobic Threshold Plan
Focus Area:
- VO2max improvement
- Aerobic threshold improvement
- Fat utilization improvement
Communication via whatsapp/sms is welcome through this plan
A power meter (smart trainer) and/or heart rate monitor necessary for compliance
