Plan Description


Endurance Training Plan Overview



Description:


This plan helps you prepare for your endurance challenge; focusing on building endurance and power progressively.


The plan features three blocks, emphasizing on muscular strength, aerobic fitness, and fatigue resistance. This ensures a paced increase in your fitness levels, optimal to your recovery and adaptation ability, which leads to better performance and resilience.


Workouts involve weekday tempo and interval efforts, combined with extended endurance rides during weekends. Note: For safety, it's recommended to do interval training off roads, preferably on a smart turbo trainer synced with simulators like Zwift.


Regardless of your fitness level or ability, this plan provides a robust fitness foundation. However, fatigue peaks between weeks 4 to 6, so if you feel overly sore or drained, adjust the session intensity and ensure ample recovery time.


By the end of the 13-week period, you'll experience enhanced fitness and minimized fatigue, prepping you for your challenge with positive freshness.



How It Works:


The plan respects your work and family commitments, averaging just 6 hours weekly on the bike.


It uses your heart rate and power zones to adjust to your fitness level, catering to beginners, intermediates, and club level cyclists.


Each "training block" incrementally adds training load (both duration and intensity) and then allows time for rest and recovery. This fosters physiological adaptations like improved muscle blood supply, an increase in energy fibres, and neuromuscular pathways development. The result? Enhanced power, capacity, and fatigue resistance. In essence, your body rebuilds stronger after each training block, paving the way for peak performance.

Leonie C, Melbourne, Australia, August 2022:



Lands End to John O'Groats ★★★★★


I completed Lejog (1000 miles) south to north coast of Britain in August and could not have done it without Grant’s online coaching program. Opted for the basic and hill climb 12-week programs which served as excellent prep. Grant’s feedback was consistent, and he promptly addressed my queries via WhatsApp (I reside in Australia). Highly recommended!




Mike H, Cheshire, July 2021:



Lands End to John O'Groats plus Three Peaks Challenge ★★★★★


Grant’s training approach is unparalleled. The flexibility of his program empowered me to push beyond my limits. He's not only a genuine individual but also a trainer who brought out my utmost potential. Highly endorse him!




Richard, Seething Wells, Surrey, June 2021:

Grant’s coaching exudes a personal touch that's unmatched by generic packages. He possesses deep insight and enthusiasm without the airs or elitism that occasionally taint the cycling world. He's truly dedicated to those serious about their training and power metrics.
