Plan Description

Thanks for checking out one of my training plans! I'd love to start working with you.





AIM = Advanced Intensity Management

All Winkler Cycling AIM plans are designed to balance LOW/MODERATE/HIGH intensity training in a very specific way to help you meet your goals.

This is a POLARIZED training plan. 90-95% of training time is done at LOW intensity (Zone 1-2). 5-10% of training time is done at HIGH intensity (Zone 5+).


LOW - 🔼 indicates that the LOW intensity work occurs in the upper part of that "zone"
HIGH - 🔽 indicates that the HIGH intensity work occurs in the lower part of that "zone"


POLARIZED-10 refers to weekly duration: ~10hrs/week

This plan is targeted at athletes dedicating 8-12 hours/week to training on the bike. The plan has 10hrs/week of planned workouts, but it is relatively easy to adjust training time between 8 and 12 hours /week while still maintaining a "polarized" distribution of intensity.
