Plan details

• 👉 Method: polarized 80/20 (80% low intensity, 20% high intensity) - the same methodology we use with our 1-1 coached athletes


• 👉 8 weeks, 1 recovery week every 3 building weeks


• 👉 4 rides per week (longest 4:00) + 2 gym strength sessions (up to 1:30), sequenced so lifting never compromises your key rides


• 👉 Power based: every session syncs to your head unit or smart trainer as a structured workout


• 👉 Testing session in week 1 and re-testing mid-plan, so your zones stay current as you improve


• ♻️ Re-usable: apply the plan again free, unlimited times. It never gets easier, you get faster
