This plan is based on the results of studies that investigated the effects of performance determinants for Mountainbike Racers. In contrast to conventional wisdom the FTP is crucial for high-power repeatability. Based on this, specific key sessions are geared toward a higher FTP. Volume and intensity will increase throughout the plan. Strength work is included in the plan and adapted to the general training load.
Performance testing will assess your progress along the way. Due to my standards, the plan is based on science and results-proven practice.
I’m a cycling coach and elite cyclist based in Duesseldorf, Germany. My coaching philosophy is simple: focus on timeless principles that are grounded in decades of endurance training science and observed in elite endurance athletes. My training plans reflect this. Easy to follow and based on evidence, my plans balance intensity and volume to optimize adaptation and minimize burnout. Built for the long game.
