This program is for a rider who has on average 10 hours per week to train. This program builds your weekly training volume up to the biggest week of 15 hours in a structured way so that you can achieve your best result at Peaks Challenge Falls Creek.
This program assumes you will commence Week 1 with some km’s already in the legs. This low volume program is ideal for the athlete who performs a majority of their session indoors on a SMART Trainer. Many of the sessions have programmed ERG intervals ready for platforms like Zwift or Trainer Road.
Remember, consistency is the key to getting fitter, so try and ride as regularly as possible. If you miss a session it is OK, don’t try and make it up, just get on with the program. Try to prioritise the key long ride sessions as these are the most important element of the programme. The training plan allows for ample recovery days and weeks. Take advantage of these and ensure you let your body rest as that is when all the adaption happens
Start this program on the 17th November 2025 so the 16-week program finishes on the 8th March 2026
