Plan Description

Smart Trainer on Zwift (Outside OK)
includes Cross Training Schedule



The Foundation Plan To Level Up This Season





This plan has you take a step backwards during the 'off season' with less volume than during the regular season. This allows you to train effectively, but with much less fatigue. This in turn is a great way to be fresh, yet building a rock solid fitness foundation before you move on to more intense race fitness training near Spring. It is a very fun, productive and effective way to stay fit and sharp, all while actually growing towards better ride and race performance in the upcoming season. Scheduling suggestions for Core, Kettlebell, Weights, Cross Training, etc.







  • Ideal Athlete: Beginner, Advanced, Masters
  • Plan Length: 12 Weeks
  • Training Environment: Indoor on Zwift Weekdays, Weekends Outside OK
  • Endurance Sport: Road, MTB, Any Discipline... Zwift Fitness too
  • Plan Focus: Reduced Intensity/Volume Initially, Push to New FTP/Duration
  • Desired Result: A Solid Foundation for Transition to a Race Fitness Training Plan
  • Repeatable Plan: Yes, but should progress to a race fitness plan in Spring
  • Training Plan Next Step Ideas: Any Race or Event Specific Training Plans
