NYX Training Plans have been created from our combined 20+ years of coaching experience as well as combined 28 Ironman finishes and 57 Ironman 70.3 finishes (and counting). While each coach has a different approach and coaching style, the structure of our plans is based on scientific, systematized progression that will best set you up for success and achievement.

This plan is written from my personal experience on the race course coupled with over 100 athletes who have successfully.

About the Plan:

Length: This 8-week program is for the intermediate /advanced cyclist/ triathlete who wants to improve their climbing. Take your bike leg to the next level.

This plan is 4-5 hours per week on the bike with intensity + volume. You average 4 bike workouts a week with the longest weekend ride at 2:30. This plan can be part of a triathlon/duathlon plan as well; simply replace these bike workouts with scheduled ones.

Requirements: You should be riding 3-4 days a week and be able to ride hills.Ride days are Mon, Tue, Thur, Sat.

To get the most out of this plan, you will need a power meter for cycling.
