Plan Description

“Break your records and feel stronger than ever after following just 4 weeks of focused training!"



The problem with doing similar training each week and each month is that you never really improve significantly. To make big improvements in your power and fitness you have to train differently and test yourself in new ways. The training in this highly focused training plan will do just that and lead to new levels of speed and power. A 20+ watt improvement is very doable in just 4 weeks!


Plan Features

This training plan starts on a Monday

The plan is reuasble an unlimited amount of times

This plan works with power only (no heart rate zones)

Designed with the new Workout Builder - offering you more precise training with power ranges calculated automatically from your threshold power (FTP) saved in TrainingPeaks settings

Download each session automatically to your Garmin or Wahoo device

Download each session in many different files formats compatible with Zwift, Wahoo, TrainerRoad, Cyclops and more

Training plan description: This is the latest and improved version of this very popular training plan. It includes the latest power ranges feature from the TrainingPeaks workout builder. Following power ranges versus a power target number is easier to follow for most training situations. The power ranges will also convert automatically to a target number for smart trainers and indoor cycling apps.


The training plan focus includes two weeks of threshold intervals and muscular endurance training followed by two weeks of high-intensity V02 and above threshold intervals. Weekends are flexible to allow for group rides, social endurance rides, or even racing. Week 5 is a recovery/peak week and includes a power test to determine your improvements. This training plan averages around 8 hours/week for around 470-550 TSS/week. Prior to this plan you should have a good level of fitness and have been training consistently for 10+ weeks for a minimum of 5 hours/week. The plan recommends a 20-minute power test prior to starting the training plan (power test protocol included with plan on week 5).
