This base builder phase 2 follows on from our Base Builder Phase 1. If you have only taken a couple of weeks off then you might want to start with this one but if you completed phase 1 then this is the next stage.

It is made so that you don't do huge amounts of work, but also challenge yourself.

This plan is based on a couple of different methods:

1. TSS
2. Duration

I find that the majority of people looking to get back into fitness can only do a certain amount of time on the bike and also, their bodies can only handle so much 'stress' so the two go hand in hand.

It is important not to over do it too quickly as I have made this mistake many times and have gotten ill quite quickly from that mistake. We must not presume that we can do 100 miles immediately and must therefore take the correct steps to build our fitness correctly.

When you purchase this plan you will also be given links to help you with nutrition which will help guide you to making the correct choices when fuelling your body.

If you find that this phase is too easy, then perhaps look at our 10-12 week programmes. Just search for Graham Dawson in the search bar.

The only thing that we request from you before starting this plan is that you do an FTP test. Without knowing your FTP score then you can over do it or not do enough. FTP is a critical part of the plan and should not be avoided. If you need any help with the FTP, then please do contact me and I will help you out.
