Plan Description

Criteriums. Love em' or hate em', the American bike racing calendar is dominated by them. While many racers like to pigeon hole themselves into categories of racers the best thing any racer can do to sharpen their race craft, improve their anaerobic capacity, sharpen their tactical nous, and actually get cheered for is to sign up for one. Hell, you might even win some money.



 


Badass Build: Crit King is 8 weeks that will add a turbo to your engine. It assumes you ride your bike a bit (~40 CTL) and use power on the bike. The workouts are built with the Structured Workout Builder and are exportable to many devices.


You won't find much fluff in this plan, just Badass workouts that increase your FRC, raise your lactate tolerance, and get you set up so when you toe the line people get nervous whenever you take a flyer off the front.
