The Intermediate plan is the ideal progression for riders who have been following the Foundation plan or who already been devising their own training and have a reasonable base of cycling fitness. You might be aiming to complete a 100 mile sportive, increase your sportive speed, try your hand at or progress at road racing or improve your time trialling performance. This plan will address the physiological and technical requirements to succeed in all of these goals. If you are concerned that a plan may be too challenging for you, begin by only completing the core sessions and then, as you find your level and become stronger, you can maybe start to add in some of the bonus workouts.
