Plan Description

The Coach of professional Champions and many agegroup Winners uses this plan to prepare his athletes for crit races, even in the harsh and legendary areas of the spring classics in belgium. This plan is ideal for beginner and intermediate cyclists who want to perform excellent in cat 5 and 4 crit races and have 5:45 - 8 hours of training time each week. Please note that some additional stretching and massage is recommend. Before starting to prepare for your season you should be familiar with using a heart rate monitor or a watt meter.

The included plan consists Training Peaks structured workout format, which will make things even easier for you. You can see your own training targets and zones for every workout through the daily workout e-mail reminders and mobile notifications. And furthermore you will also see a graphic representation of the workout within the Training Peaks web portal and Training Peaks mobile app, which helps you to get a sense of the entire Workout by taking just one look at the easy to understand graphs and segments for every part of your training. You will no longer have to read through long descriptions and get everything at a glance. My athletes prefer this comfort since TrainingPeaks offers this awesome feature.
