This Road Racing Build Plan will prepare your body for the intense Road Racing season. Build training for most cyclists usually starts in April or on times you need to build toward your goals. We will start easily into the plan to avoid overdoing it. Training volume and intensity will increase throughout the plan.
The plan combines the findings of studies investigating the effects of periodization, intensity, and strength training on endurance performance. Fuelling guidelines will help you maximize performance for every session.
Performance testing will assess your progress along the way. Due to my standards, the plan is based on science and results-proven practice. Enjoy!
I’m a cycling coach and elite cyclist based in Duesseldorf, Germany. My coaching philosophy is simple: focus on timeless principles that are grounded in decades of endurance training science and observed in elite endurance athletes. My training plans reflect this. Easy to follow and based on evidence, my plans balance intensity and volume to optimize adaptation and minimize burnout. Built for the long game.
