Watts Ahead… 6-Week TT Power Plan
For cyclists preparing for a time trial who want to improve sustained power, pacing, and confidence in the aero position.
This 6-week plan is designed for riders training with power who already ride at least three times most weeks and are comfortable riding for over 2 hours. It is not a beginner plan, but it is practical, structured, and focused on real-world TT preparation.
Most workouts are fully built within TrainingPeaks and can be used with smart trainers and compatible head units. Key efforts should be completed in your TT position where possible. If you cannot hold the position in training, you are unlikely to hold it well in a race.
What You’ll Get
✔️ 6 weeks of TT-focused training
✔️ Power-based workouts for smart trainers and head units
✔️ Threshold, sweet spot, anaerobic, endurance, and leg speed sessions
✔️ Week 1 threshold test to help set accurate zones
✔️ Longer weekend rides to build endurance and event confidence
✔️ Optional cross-training to support robustness and aero-position control
✔️ A lighter final week leading into your event
Peak volume is around 9 hours including cross-training, with a peak week of approximately 433 TSS.
Weekend rides are a good chance to practise fuelling, pacing, and, where suitable, riding your TT course. If you need to move sessions, avoid stacking more than two hard days back to back.
