Plan Description
This plan is the latest version using all the latest TrainingPeaks features, current for 2021/22 and has been designed by me, Pav Bryan (coachpav.com) Amazon #1 New Release Author, BikesEtc Magazine’s 'Cycling Guru' and 'King of Endurance'.
Only my premium ("NEW!!") plans come with a free user guide (with new links to blog resources - sorry the links within each session no longer work) 40-week strength and conditioning plan (downloadable in session one on the calendar) and email support! If you have any problem completing your plan or have to deviate for any reason – I will personally recommend a solution within 24 hours.
This plan is for you if: You have been training in a structured manner for up to a couple of years or are capable of averaging between 300-500 TSS points per week.
Once you have completed this plan you will be ready to start your more specialised training. Consider using the $50.00 voucher included with this plan to get hire a Spokes coach or receive a Personalised Training Plan -> checkout spokes.fit for more info. If you choose to go it alone, you might consider switching the strength sessions to something less maximal, maybe more focused on building explosive power (4-8 weeks), then to more strength maintenance following that (maybe only twice per week).
This plan presumes that you have had an end of season break. If you have had just one week off (and this is enough!) you might consider starting this plan at week three. Anymore than one week off the bike, you should start at the beginning. If you've had more than one month off the bike, consider repeating weeks 1-3, before testing and then continuing the plan.
Where double sessions exist, do the bike session in the morning and the other session as late in the day as possible. Try to give yourself as big a gap between the two as possible. The exception might be if you have a leg speed (easy) session scheduled on the same day as a non-bike session, they can be done right after the other.
This plan is totally compatible (upload-able/exportable) with all good platforms including Zwift, TrainerRoad, The Sufferfest and many more.
You can use any method to monitor your training, power, cadence, heart rate or rate of perceived exertion, although power is an advantage. You get key rides and further resources (links within the sessions on the calendar) to ensure you are capable across every aspect of cycling; nutrition, hydration, technique, tactics and of course performance.
All the sessions you will do come with comprehensive instructions, links to videos, blogs or downloads, plus they have the workout builder function; full power, heart rate and cadence targets (where applicable).
Please note that my "NEW!!" plans don't come with a taper before any events (if applicable). This is mainly because most athletes have their own taper specific to them and less taper weeks means more training weeks! Feel free to get in contact if you need help with your taper, but remember to time to end of this plan so there is a gap between it and your event.
If you are using heart rate or RPE and would like a plan tailored to this, please visit coachpav.com for info on bespoke plans.
