Summary

This 8 week plan is designed to get you race ready for your upcoming road racing season. To take full advantage of the plan start the training 8 weeks out from your desired race. The last weekend is designed to end on a race omnium including a road race, time trial, and criterium.

This plan assumes that you have a training base and are comfortable with 2-3 hour road rides, interval training, tempo rides, and strength training. It starts with the establishment of heart rate training zones that you'll use for the duration of the plan. All long rides are on the weekends with at least one day off every Monday. Following this plan will allow you to prepare for a well rounded racing season building power, strength, and endurance.
