Plan Description

*ENGLISH BELOW*

📌 Worum geht's?
Dieser Plan baut auf dem VO₂max-Booster und dem FTP-Booster auf. Du hast das Dach angehoben und die Schwelle nach oben geschoben – jetzt machen wir dich rennhart. Over-Under-Intervalle, Tempo Changes, Surges und Race-Finish-Simulationen bringen dir bei, im Rennen zu bestehen: Attacken kontern, Tempoverschärfungen überleben und am Ende noch Druck machen.

📅 Der Plan startet 8 Wochen vor deinem Zielrennen. Wähle dein Startdatum so, dass der letzte Tag des Plans auf deinen Race Day fällt.

🎯 Der Plan macht dich Race Ready. Der letzte Baustein vor dem Saisonhöhepunkt – ideal als Vorbereitung auf RAD RACE Events. Du lernst, um die Schwelle herum zu oszillieren, Laktat unter Belastung zu managen und mit müden Beinen noch zu attackieren.

✅ BASIC – für Athleten mit weniger Zeit oder als Einstieg in rennspezifisches Training. Die Intervalle sind weniger umfangreich als im Advanced Plan, aber effektiv. Eine Over-Under Key Session, eine Race Simulation und optionale Grundlagenfahrten.


Progressive Steigerung über 8 Wochen: Wochen 1–3 Aufbau, Woche 4 Erholung, Wochen 5–7 Peak Rennspezifik, Woche 8 Taper → Race Day. Einfach, klar, brutal effektiv.
🛠️ Was du brauchst

Powermeter oder smarter Trainer
Aktuelle FTP! Vorher testen oder Werte aus Leistungsdiagnostik nutzen
Wichtig: Over-Unders ≠ All-Out! Die "Over"-Phasen sind kontrolliert über der Schwelle, nicht maximale Attacken. Lerne den Rhythmus.

đź”§ Anpassungen erlaubt!

Plan funktioniert eigenständig – Zwift, andere Plattform oder outdoor
Indoor: Ein- und Ausfahren kĂĽrzen
Der Plan gehört dir – beliebig oft wiederholbar

🇬🇧 ENGLISH

📌 What's the plan?
Builds on the VO₂max Booster and FTP Booster. You've raised the ceiling and pushed your threshold up – now we make you race hard. Over-under intervals, tempo changes, surges and race-finish simulations teach you how to survive in a race: counter attacks, handle pace changes and still push hard at the end.

đź“… This plan starts 8 weeks before your target race. Choose your start date so the last day of the plan falls on your race day.

🎯 This plan makes you Race Ready. The final building block before your season peak – ideal preparation for RAD RACE events. You'll learn to oscillate around threshold, manage lactate under load, and attack on tired legs.

✅ BASIC – for athletes with less time or as an entry into race-specific training. The intervals are less voluminous than the Advanced Plan, but still effective. One over-under key session, one race simulation and optional endurance rides.


Progressive overload across 8 weeks: Weeks 1–3 build, week 4 recovery, weeks 5–7 peak race specificity, week 8 taper → race day. Simple, clear, brutally effective.

🛠️ What you need

Power meter or smart trainer
Current FTP! Test before or use diagnostic values
Important: Over-unders ≠ all-out! The "over" phases are controlled above threshold, not maximal attacks. Learn the rhythm.

đź”§ Modifications allowed!

Works standalone – Zwift, other platforms or outdoors
Indoor: shorten warm-up/cool-down
The plan is yours – repeat anytime
