About This Plan
This plan (along with our other “Save Your Season 8 Weeks to Peak" plans) provides a progressive build to peak for your event or race once you've established a good base foundation. The plan is also a great solution for in-season training if your fitness has leveled off and you want a boost for an upcoming event or race. This is a tough plan that includes FTP intervals, explosive power work, max aerobic intervals, and lots more. Challenge yourself and take your fitness to the top!

Athlete Testimonial
I've loved both of the Tim Cusick plans that I have purchased. They are straightforward to understand and I have been able to make huge gains each time I've done them. For an "off the rack" training plan there is nowhere else I am going! (Emerson E.)We've got more plans!
