Plan Description

This plan is designed for a rider who has completed the Crusher in the Tushar race previously (or comparable events) and is looking to do more than just complete - this rider wants to compete! It is for an experienced athlete who has completed a base training program and is ready for higher intensity work in addition to endurance.
You will need a power meter to follow this program. The workouts include power-based workout programming for all structured rides. It includes an FTP test on Day 1 and instructions for how to determine and add your FTP in TrainingPeaks.
This program is designed around a Monday rest day. If that works for your schedule, start Day 1 on a Monday. If you would like a Sunday rest day, start the plan on a Sunday. This plan includes 5 days of training per week. If you would like six days of training, add an easy recovery spin on one of the scheduled days off. If you would like four days of training, add a day off on the scheduled recovery ride day.
All KCC training plans come with a comprehensive document of best practices and guidelines. You will find this doc attached in your first day of training.

K Cycling Coaching

As a coach, it’s my job to make you fast. But it’s my mission to make you the very best athlete you can be. I provide the structure – the analytics, the feedback, the roadmap. And we dig in together to see what unique path is right for you, based on your physiological tendencies, your training data, your sensations, and your goals.

We work in a partnership. And this partnership allows athlete and coach to be greater than the sum of our parts. What matters is that we connect.
