You need your climbing legs, and FAST!
Our Intermediate 8 weeks to Stronger Climbing! Program will help you maximize your climbing abilities by not only giving your energy systems a kick, but also helping to expand the "tools" you have to use on the climbs.
From cadences, to your mental toughness, this program is the real deal!

What kind of riding is in this program?
This program is focused on high intensity intervals during the mid-week rides, Especially the VO2 Max Energy System, along with 1 group ride, and a longer endurance ride on the weekends. Total Ride time per week is 8-10 hours, although weekend rides may be extended up to 60 minutes, should your fitness and schedule allow.

What time of year is this program best for? Base? Build?
An excellent question that we often receive for this program! This program is built to allow you to use it either during your Base Period, or your Racing period leading up to your peak (This program should end 1 week before your peak race). For use during your Racing period/season (build), simply trade out the "Group Ride" for a Road Race or Crit on your calendar. For most Category 2/3/4's you'll see that the Time on the bike, and even the TSS ranges will be fairly comparable. You can decrease the second days ride so as to meet the same TSS for the weekend. While you'll get a different mix of energy systems (due to racing), you'll stay in range for the program to build you up!

Can I reuse this plan through my season?
Sure can! As long as you take 1 week to de-load after the last week of the training program, you can jump right back in and re-use this training plan numerous times throughout the season!
