Plan Description
Stay strong. Stay sharp. Stay ready.
This 12-week plan is designed for cyclists who’ve already built a solid fitness base and want to maintain or sharpen their fitness for key events, races, or a busy season of group riding and adventures.
It’s the ideal plan when you’re not looking to build from scratch, but you do want to stay consistent, preserve your gains, and fine-tune your performance—without overloading the system.
You’ve put in the work. Now it’s about keeping that fitness durable, staying fresh, and knowing when to push and when to recover.
This plan includes a blend of sub-threshold, tempo, and short intensity efforts, mixed with endurance rides to maintain aerobic capacity and muscular endurance. Recovery weeks are built in so you can absorb the work and avoid burnout.
Perfect for in-season cyclists, this plan fits well between events, after a build phase, or as a structured “reset” if your training has felt scattered. It’s also great when life gets busy and you need structure to keep momentum going.
What to Expect:
• 3–5 structured rides per week
• Intensity that keeps your legs sharp, without draining you
• Optional mobility and core maintenance suggestions
• Flexibility to adjust based on weekly availability
Whether you're eyeing a late-season race, hitting weekly group rides, or just want to ride consistently and confidently all season long, this plan keeps you in the game—strong, balanced, and ready for what’s next.
