This plan is based off the research done on block periodization. The high intensity workouts are preloaded in the first week with just one high intensity workout each week after. This method has shown a greater increase in performance over a more traditional plan. This plan is suitable for most disciplines of cycling including road, mtb, gravel, cyclocross, etc.

As always the plan is simple, easy to follow, and based on research, not assumptions. Everything you need and nothing you don't.
I'm a cycling coach based out of Brevard, NC as well as an elite level ultra endurance mountain and gravel racer.
My coaching philosophy is simple: follow the best available balance of evidence. I try to base my coaching decisions on research, not assumptions. My training plans reflect this, they are simple and easy to follow without a lot of bells and whistles. Essentially everything you need and nothing you don't.
