Still have questions about this plan?Plan Description
This 12-week plan is suited for intermediate or advanced cyclist. Basicly it is based on growing up your FTP and Vo2. After this plan you will be prepared for TT from 10 to 45. Maybe slightly longer, but then better contact me.
Before this plan you should have good strength endurance and endurance days done.
Every 4 weeks we do a FTP test to recognize your improvement.
There are some core-full body exercises for better positioning on your TT bike.
Good luck and have a nice time :-)
