This training plan is designed for the club rider or racer looking to complete or compete in, a gran fondo, or simply build their endurance and power to be in peak shape.
7 months of workouts to build your fitness to competition level. Strength workouts, recovery time, high intensity intervals, and endurance rides. Custom plans available as well.
Frequency: 2-3 times a week Primary Exercises: Squats Deadlifts Lunges Body weight exercises such as planks, pushups, and core Do 20-30 reps per set using 40-60% of your 1 rep max (1RM) for each exercise. Complete 3-5 sets with 1-2 minutes rest between sets. The anatomical adaptation phase probably starts right about now for most cyclists - after you have transitioned from your season and usually after a break from formal training and racing. It takes place 1-2 months prior to the start of your off-season base training on the bike. The goal of this phase is to prepare the muscles for more loads and repetitions in the upcoming phases.
This is an intense interval designed to increase aerobic intensity and endurance. After a good warmup, 15 - 20 minutes, go Zone 5 for 1 minute. Then recover for 4 minutes, getting your HR down to under 100bpm. Repeat 7 times.
This ride is designed to build your endurance and physiological efficiency. After 20 minute warmup hold steady power output of 75% of threshold for 60 minutes. Cool down for 5-10 minutes

Tempo ride at CP90. Should feel like 75% of max, best to ride on flattish course in order to maintain steady power, ie no coasting.
