Plan Description
*Polarized Training*
This 4 week polarized training plan is based on a scientific study which compared different training plan structures. The polarized training helped participants to increase VO2max by 12% and threshold power by 8% after repeating this training block multiple times.
*The Plan*
This plan represents one training block of four weeks, organised in a load to deload ratio of 2:1. The initial three weeks focus on a high polarized training load including a total of 6 sessions: 2 high and 4 low intensity workouts. The 4th week is designed as a recovery week with lower total training load. This includes only 1 high and 2 low intensity sessions.
After concluding this 4 week block you can restart with the second week all over again.
*Inidividual adaptaion*
This training plan requires a peak time of about 12 hours per week. If you don't have that much time available for your training, it can easily be modified. Just contact us to find an individual solution.
*Requirements*
What you need, is a bike, a power meter, good motivation and lots of carbs :-)
