Plan Description

**Cycle Lean Project - 8-Week Training Peaks Plan**

Welcome to the Cycle Lean Project! Our 8-week training plan has been meticulously crafted to help you achieve your goals of becoming leaner, cycling faster, and recovering quicker. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, this plan is designed to optimize your performance during the winter months while minimizing fatigue.

**Who is this plan for?**
This training plan is perfect for individuals who want to:

- Improve their cycling fitness.
- Shed excess body fat and achieve a leaner physique.
- Enhance their recovery and endurance capabilities.

It's suitable for cyclists of various skill levels, from beginners looking to build a solid foundation to experienced riders aiming to fine-tune their performance. Regardless of your current fitness level, this plan is adaptable to meet your unique needs and aspirations.

**What to Expect:**
Throughout the 8-week Cycle Lean Project, you can anticipate:

1. **Progressive Workouts:** Our plan features carefully structured workouts that gradually increase in intensity and duration to help you see steady fitness improvements.

2. **Minimized Fatigue:** We understand the importance of balancing training with recovery. This plan is designed to minimize fatigue and avoid overtraining, ensuring you stay energized and motivated.

3. **Indoor Training:** To make the most of this plan, you will need access to an indoor trainer or stationary bike for approximately 90% of the workouts. This allows you to train effectively regardless of weather conditions, ensuring consistent progress.

4. **Nutritional Guidance:** While not a comprehensive nutrition plan, we provide general dietary recommendations to complement your training and help you achieve your lean body composition goals.

**Equipment Required:**
To get the most out of the Cycle Lean Blueprint, you will need:

- An indoor trainer or access to one.
- A bike in good working condition.
- Basic cycling gear, including a helmet and appropriate clothing.
- Access to a heart rate monitor or power meter (optional but beneficial).
