Plan Description

Winter Base 2 Training Plan - with iLevels


written by Tim Cusick, TrainingPeaks WKO Product Leader and master coach with BaseCamp


WKO iLevels plan


Our WKO power-duration-based iLevels plans will make the difference in your training this season.

This 12-week base training plan was created by Tim Cusick, coach of national and world ITT champion Amber Neben. Your workout prescription will be individualized based on your data following the Power-Duration Curve as you gain fitness. iLevel plans are for the serious, competitive, power-training cyclist. Whether you’re racing or getting ready for a big event, these plans will give you all the tools you need to kick start your season.


To use this plan, you will need to have a power meter and the TrainingPeaks WKO software (if you don't have WKO or if you don't train with power, you can still get these cutting-edge workouts and plans; just search for the Coggan Classic versions). This plan uses the advanced iLevels training protocol developed by Dr. Andy Coggan and the new training metrics available in WKO, like FTP/FRC, FRC, and PMAX. Visit TrainingPeaks to find out more about WKO4 or to watch Coach Cusick’s free educational WKO webinars.


These plans use the cutting-edge workouts that Tim prescribes for his pro athletes, with focus on fatigue resistance, intensive and extensive workouts, and increasing your Time to Exhaustion (TTE), Stamina, and FRC (functional work capacity). All our plans include predicted TSS and ongoing testing. Included with all our full-season plans are a free Functional Strength eBook and a sports nutrition tips eBook.


Included with your plan:
- Instruction sheet (attached to the first day of the plan)
- Testing
- Coaching comments and tips
- 10% discount on nutrition guide
