This is a 12 week pre-season plan to improve your FTP, ideal for mountain bike riders of all disciplines.
It involves 2 key rides a week of 50-90 minutes, which gradually increases in duration each week of the plan. All sessions are structured similarly with work intervals at "sweet spot", or 86-92% FTP. To mimic riding off road these intervals are varied and challenging to replicate real life riding and allow you to reap the benefits on the trail!
The sessions are designed to fit around a busy lifestyle and for those riders who want to train SMARTER not harder.
The plan starts with an incremental ramp test to determine FTP followed by the first session of This is a manageable training load progression and should be achievable without causing too much fatigue.
Between workout days athletes should either rest or do only Z2 easy training to ensure sufficient recovery. The plan also allows for a 2-4 hour trail ride at the weekend, but this is optional.
When you complete the plan athletes can either repeat the plan, or progress to the build phase.
