The Crit Racing Training Plan

- 4-week plan - 6-8 hours per week total training time (Max volume in a week 7hr 56mins)

- A power meter and HR monitor are recommended for this plan. At least one is a necessity.

This plan is perfect for anyone getting ready for crit racing. This block is short due to the intensity. A period of recovery should be applied if repeating the program. This program will develop you in the key areas for crit racing. Its focus is on improving your vo2 and repeatability of the intensity. Both key in a crit event or similar. Like all our programs, this science-based training plan incorporates weekly progressive overload.

Using a mixture of training sessions, the benefits of this plan are:

- Improved Effort Repeatability - The nature of crit racing means there are very few rest periods. Improve your ability to sprint and produce high-power efforts over and over again and manage lactate build-up.

- Increased Vo2 Max - Increase your Vo2 max overall and increase the power you produce in the effort range.

- Improve Your Sprinting - Improve your sprinting ability, the power you can produce and the number of times you can execute one in a race.
