Is this training plan right for you?


Achieving high performance doesn't have to be complicated! I truly believe that mastering the basics is key for the majority of the time. Let's embrace the fundamentals and reach new heights together! Let's go get it!

This plan is a Zone 2 (focused) program that consists of training sessions up to 5 days per week (3 weekdays, 2 weekends). In the second week, we have two days of testing, complemented by additional metrics over the weekend. These metrics provide valuable insights to optimise your training and achieve your goals.


This information can be used to calculate your personalised training zones. Utilise your Training Peaks premium account to perform this calculation, seek assistance from our team, or use our ready-made calculators HERE.

What preparations are required for this plan?


  • This is a beginner plan, so if you have a bike you are good to go.

  • A Power Meter would be beneficial, but you can follow this plan with Heart rate or Rate of Perceived Exertion. (RPE)

  • You should be committed up to 5 days riding, and up to 10 hours per week.

  • Rides can be completed on a turbo trainer or outdoors.

For any questions related to testing or selecting an appropriate training plan, please do not hesitate to contact us HERE.

We are dedicated to providing you with the support and guidance you need to achieve your athletic goals.
