Background: A low volume, higher intensity programme, this plan is a great way to prep the final two weeks into your target event. The training plan is set-up to assume a target event on the second Sunday but is flexible enough to self adjust accordingly to meet the actual target event you may have.
Objective: Taper period into a specified target event.
Requirements: Preferably Power Meter but can be adapted to Heart Rate realtively easily. Indoor trainer is needed. We recommend that you have updated your FTP via a test in the last 6-8 weeks to ensure you are training with the latest power settings to maximise the impact of this plan.
NOTE: This plan is developed on basis of using functional threshold power. To maximise the benefits of this it is recommend to conduct functional threshold power test prior to starting to ensure correct setting of training zones.
