Plan Description

Coach Pav

This plan has been designed by Pav Bryan (coachpav.com) - Amazon #1 New Release Author, BikesEtc Magazines 'Cycling Guru' and 'King of Endurance'.

Only my plans designed by Pav Bryan come with a free 40-week strength and conditioning plan (downloadable in session one on the calendar).

This plan is for you if you are targeting the Orbis Cycle Challenge and have limited time to train (approx. one hour per day during the week + some longer weekend rides). If you have longer to train, you can consider simply adding duration to each session during the week or contacting team@spokes.fit for a personalised plan.

It would be advantageous for you to add some practise rides (similar to your event) during the final two phases. When/if doing so, please replace the most similar session(s) during the week.

This plan presumes that you have been riding consistently for at least 4 weeks (ideally 8), if you haven't, you should check out our Preparation Phase plans before starting this. Where double session exist do them in the order as presented on the plan, ideally this is bike session early morning and the other session late in the evening.

PLEASE NOTE: that while all features listed below still work, some of the links in the sessions might not and some of the newer TrainingPeaks features are unavailable. This plan has been updated and can be found in the TP store (email if you can't find it). There is a guide attached to day one of this plan which contains a user guide including new links to resources such as blogs and videos.

This plan is totally compatible (upload-able/exportable) with all good platforms including Zwift, TrainerRoad, The Sufferfest and many more.

You can use any method to monitor your training, power, cadence, heart rate or rate of perceived exertion, although power is an advantage. You get key rides and further resources (links within the sessions on the calendar) to ensure you are capable across every aspect of cycling; nutrition, hydration, technique, tactics and of course performance.

All the sessions you will do come with comprehensive instructions, links to videos, blogs or downloads, plus they have the workout builder function; full power, heart rate and cadence targets (where applicable).

If you are using heart rate or RPE and would like a plan suited to this, please visit us at -> spokes.fit & we will gladly create one for you.

You also get access to the Spokes support groups.

You won’t find a training plan more comprehensive than this!
