If you are new to road and criterium racing (crits) then this plan is a great introduction to this discipline. It has no more than 5:30 hours per week training & can be completed with a minimum of heart rate and cadence monitors. This plan presumes you have at least four weeks riding completed before starting, if you have not ridden this much consider doing a short body prep phase prior.

COMPLIMENTARY 40 Week Core/Leg Strength program included (worth $99.00)! Continue to use it long after you've finished this plan! COMPLIMENTARY Support Group access, both nutrition and training! PLUS $25.00 OFF your next plan, when you complete a short survey!

PLEASE NOTE: that while all features listed below still work, some of the links in the sessions might not and some of the newer TrainingPeaks features are unavailable. This plan has been updated and can be found in the TP store (email if you can't find it). There is a guide attached to day one of this plan which contains a user guide including new links to resources such as blogs and videos.

This plan is totally compatible (upload-able/exportable) with Zwift, TrainerRoad, Smart Trainers & ERG Modes!

This plan is the most comprehensive and user-friendly plan on the market! Only plans from Direct Power Coaching come with support. We win when you do so buy this plan and will support you by providing you a free guide to download in day one and if you do have any questions you can email info@directpowercoaching.com and we will respond within 48 hours.

You can use any method to monitor your training, power, heart rate or rate of perceived exertion, although power is an advantage. You get key rides to ensure you are capable across every aspect of cycling; nutrition, hydration, technique, tactics and of course performance. Truly personal coaching without the expense of working with a coach 1:1.

95% of the sessions you will do come with comprehensive instructions, links to videos, blogs or downloads, plus they have the workout builder function and can be directly uploaded to Garmin too complete!

Technique will also play a massive part. If possible join a local Go-Ride club skills session or check out your local race venue to see if they have any. If you can get a friend to video you then you can analyse technique such as sprinting and group riding later.

This plan comes FREE with Direct Power Cycling Team membership (directpowerct.com), you can get the code from the DPCT Facebook group or email info@directpowercoaching.com.
