Winning is a Mindset Not a Spot on the Podium
You are training for L'Etape by Tour de France and want to make sure you are well prepared on race day to complete the 100 miles in a strong manner. These training plans combine a balance of interval workouts and long endurance rides to prepare you in the best possible manner to crush your goal on race day 🎯. We include general nutrition tips as well as a variety of other resources to make sure you are well equipped to ride 100 miles. These plans are written with a mixture of mileage and time based workouts. Your weekend long rides are prescribed by distance. You know the distance of the event you are doing and we will train you to finish that distance! During the week, we know that time is limited so a lot of the weekly training rides are written with a time budget in mind.
All workouts are written based off Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) but we also include text instructions for heart rate and power-based training. We never want technology to be a limiter from training hard and accomplishing your goals, but we also realize that many athletes enjoy investing in technology and using it to train better. This plan will more than prepare you for race day but it takes more than a good plan. The real question is- can you do the work? Getting faster is simple. It's just not easy.
