“Increase your fitness progressively in the next 3-4 months and achieve breakthrough performances!"

This 16-week base training plan is designed for cyclists who can train 10-15 hours/week on their build weeks. The plan starts out at a lower intensity which is ideal for cyclists coming off a break or limited riding. The plan progressively builds over 16 weeks with 3 weeks of build weeks followed by an easier week. The majority of the training focus is to build your engine progressively over time. This means lots of Zone 2-3 training, specific on-the-bike strength work, sprint and cadence work, and later in the plan the introduction of higher intensity training. The longer rides are scheduled on weekends which start out around 2-3 hours and increase progressively over time to 4-6 hours in duration by the final 4 weeks of traning. Power testing is an option in the plan and a protocol is provided on weeks 4 and 16 over 4 key durations (sprint, 1 minutes, 5 minute, 20 minute). 
The plan is designed to work indoors as well as outdoors and is designed with the Workout Builder feature which provides your personalized power targets for each training session. Additional benefits of the Workout Builder format include direct training session download to your Garmin or Wahoo device and training session upload to Zwift, TrainingRoad, CycleOps, and more.
