This is a 12 week training plan for the B2VT. This plan progresses from 3 to 5 days a week of on bike work accompanied by 1 day a week of off-bike body maintenance and core strengthening work. This plan is progressive in terms of TSS,volume, and intensity which leads up to a taper the week of the race. The plan utilizes a 3 weeks working and 1 week regeneration scheme.
If the athlete needs to reduce the volume of a workout, they should do so by removing an ENTIRE interval versus reducing the length of each interval.
