The 8-week Build | Road Race plan develops the ability to handle the repeated demands of real racing. The focus is on greater aerobic capacity, stronger muscular endurance, and sustaining high output when the pace is hard.
Sessions blend longer steady efforts with race-like surges and changes in rhythm. This builds the strength to respond, recover, and go again. Recovery days are built in to keep training consistent and effective.
The plan moves you on from general base work and readies you for the specific demands of road racing - long efforts, sharp accelerations, and holding speed deep into the ride.
I am a performance-focused cycling coach specialising in power-based training and applied physiology. I work with athletes to align their training precisely with the demands of their target events. Using detailed physiological analysis, advanced tools such as TrainingPeaks and WKO5, and insights from my own physiology lab, I create response-driven training strategies that support long-term development and peak performance.
