Need some Structure? Instead of killing yourself with too many virtual races, it's time to use the indoor trainer to focus on specific workouts that make you stronger and just tired!
Quality and structured intervals maximize the benefits of trainer time. The plan includes 4 structured workouts each week that progress in intensity and/or duration from week to week. ALL Workout Builder workouts can be imported and ridden within ZWIFT. The first weeks focus on Tempo (zone 3) workouts and build into Threshold (zone 4) workouts as well as Simulated Climbing workouts. Trainer rides can be supplemented with easy recovery rides and outdoor endruance rides to increase weekly training hours.
Riders should be comfortable training with power and have an established FTP or known threshold HR set in Training Peaks to allow for proper intensity.
The plan was created using the TrainingPeaks "Workout Builder" format. The workouts may be uploaded to a device (power meter, heart rate monitor, indoor trainer) or third-party app to help you follow it precisely. The format also makes it easier to visualize what the workout will be like.

Running The FAST Lab, my Sports Performance & Training Center, gives me the opportunity to offer performance-focused coaching along with physiological testing services. Having spent the last 25 years working with athletes, my passion lies in working with Master's athletes like myself; balancing work and family, along with training for races and challenging events. I geek out on human physiology and how to manipulate training to meet the demands of whatever challenge is on the calendar.
