We have taken the demands of a typical 100 mile sportive and used them to design this training plan which will deliver you to your event with the ability to achieve your goal, whether that be completing your first century or aiming for a specific time.

Within our periodised training programme we incorporate all aspects of a polarised training model, incorporating strength, endurance and threshold work to help develop your fitness throughout your training. Ensuring you have the capability of riding the demands of your sportive. Your training load will progress roughly 11% per week, increasing both the intensity and the duration throughout your training plan. The biggest training load will come in week ten just before the two-week taper, allowing you to recover and maintain your fitness, readying you for your up and coming event.

Here at Recovery Lab UK we wish you the every best with your cycling programme and would love to here about your progress. Don't forget to tag us on your social media platforms @recoverylabuk and use the hashtag #RecoveryLabUK, we would love to support you throughout your journey!
