VO2max Cycling: 3 Month Base and Max Aerobic Training Plan - Intermediate
VO2max Cycling: 3 Month Base and Max Aerobic Training Plan - Intermediate
Length
12 Weeks
Plan Description
This program is intended for cyclists with limited training experience but who can ride at least 50km in one ride and who are looking to improve their cycling power and fitness level. The plan includes 3 sessions a week and thus is ideal for those who are limited by the number of times they can get on their bike.
The first month builds on volume and introduces the cyclist to some short intervals. The second month increases the intensity of the intervals and continues building endurance with longer rides. The third month works on sustainable power by increasing the duration of the intervals and reducing rest periods. You can time the implementation of this program to correspond to an important race that is ~3 month away from when you start it.
The plan provides detailed descriptions of each workout with mileage targets and intensity guidelines based on perceived effort (RPE ratings), HR and Power .
