“Train with Purpose and Build for Future Records and Breakthrough Performances!"

Training plan description:The 20-week Base + Build training plan is a proven formula to bring you to top race or group ride shape in 20 weeks. It starts with our proven Base Plan for 12 weeks where you will make big improvements in leg strength, pedaling efficiency, sprinting, and endurance. The 8-week build phase that follows includes threshold + VO2 Max/race simulation training which will bring you to top form and ready to achieve some breakthrough rides.

This training plan is designed for cyclists who while leading a busy life can fit in 5 days/week of training, with typically 1-2 hours available Monday to Friday and 2-4 hours available on weekends, for around 7-11 hours/week. You may be a regular A or B group rider and/or participate in road racing. The plan builds with 3-week training blocks followed by an easier week of 6-7 hours before starting the next 3-week block. Before starting the plan you should have a good level of fitness and be accustomed to training 6+ hours/week.

The plan is designed to work indoors as well as outdoors and is designed with the Workout Builder feature which provides personalized power targets for each training session. Additional benefits of the Workout Builder format include direct training session download to your Garmin or Wahoo device and training session upload to Zwift, TrainingRoad, CycleOps and more.
