Plan Description

“Become fit, fast, and strong in 8-12 weeks with specific training!”


Training plan description: This 12-week Training Plan with Power is designed for cyclists who can train 4-5 times/week, with typically 1-2 hours available Monday to Friday and 1.5-3 hours available on Saturdays and Sundays, for an average of 8-10 hours/week total. The plan builds each week with first a focus on strength and threshold power improvements. Later in the plan, we build your speed, VO2 max, and high-intensity fitness. This plan is in the latest TrainingPeaks version with automatic sync to Zwift, Garmin, Wahoo, and more.


The plan is very flexible. Each week there are 4 key workouts and an optional fifth workout. You may move days around in the week if need. The goal is to complete the 4 key sessions each week on any of the days, to ensure improvements. Before starting the plan you should have a good level of endurance fitness and be accustomed to training 7+ hours/week.


The training is with Power and is designed in the Workout Builder format which provides your personalized power zones in each training session which are calculated automatically from your Threshold number inputted under settings. Additional benefits of the Workout Builder format include direct training session sync to your Garmin or Wahoo device and to Zwift - simply select the day's training session from your "training" folder (scroll down to "TrainingPeaks custom workout". Your day's session appears there ready to start.
