Plan Description

Anaerobic energy has a big impact on the amount of power you can put out. To put it simply, the greater your anaerobic energy, the higher your top-end power output.
The anaerobic energy system is important for disciplines requiring high power output over short duration's and this can be in a repetitive form when short/explosive efforts are needed frequently, i.e. in CycloX or Criterium type races.
With this plan we aim to balance two crucial areas of performance which can be difficult to maintain when focusing on something such as boosting your anaerobic capacity. We make sure that you maintain a solid aerobic fitness while increasing that big 'punch' of anaerobic power which you need for a killer attack in the final kilometre of a race or during an aggressive criterium.
In this plan you will develop-
*Anaerobic Capacity - boosting you peak powers over 30sec to 1min
* Increase Anaerobic resilience - develop you ability to repeat high intensity efforts at a high quality
* Improve your Sprint - Working those fast twitch muscle fibers will see you kick ass in your next Sprint
* Keep aerobic strengths - You still need to maintain a solid base, we make sure you don't lose the aerobic power

If you want to attack on a climb like Philippe Gilbert or solo to a victory with 1km to go like Marianne Vos then this plan is for you.
