This 6 Week Sweet spot Base-2 Plan is designed by White Pine Athletics' Head Coach Kyle McFarland for the advanced to intermediate level cyclist looking for big gains in FTP (threshold) and the ability to repeat high power output efforts over a long duration.
*This is the second of two Sweet Spot Base plans.*
If you're racing road, gravel or XC MTB this plan will give you the base you need to build towards your strongest season yet.
Sweet Spot Training is a big "bang for your buck" training zone. Sessions can be short and intense, but have huge payoffs in fitness. This is a great base plan for time crunched athletes looking for a pump in FTP.
Each session can be performed either inside or outside, and can be exported to devices such as Bryton, Garmin, Wahoo, Zwift, etc.
Included in the plan:
- Initial testing protocol
- Strength and mobility sessions
- Sessions that build on each other from week to week
- Helpful articles, tips and tricks
With a background in Exercise Physiology, I believe in training protocols that are science-based and research-driven. My goal as a coach is to help my athletes apply the proper combination of training stress, intensity, and rest/recovery modalities that will result in peak performance conditions at their target events.
I don't promise success - you need to put in the work for that - but I do offer a plan to guide you along the way.
