The 12-week Base plan is designed to build stamina and lay the groundwork for event-specific training.
Base training is the cornerstone of cycling performance. During this phase, the body undergoes key adaptations that form the platform for future gains in speed, power, and endurance.
The aerobic system supplies up to 85% of energy in most cycling events. By developing it thoroughly, you build the metabolic foundation needed to handle higher training loads and recover more effectively in later phases.
This phase lasts 12 weeks.
I am a performance-focused cycling coach specialising in power-based training and applied physiology. I work with athletes to align their training precisely with the demands of their target events. Using detailed physiological analysis, advanced tools such as TrainingPeaks and WKO5, and insights from my own physiology lab, I create response-driven training strategies that support long-term development and peak performance.
