This training plan is cycling focused and is based off a time availability of 8 - 12 hours per week. It is important to not that LSD rides can be shortened for the time crunched athletes.

It is vitally important that you DO NOT try and make up any sessions. If you have missed any sessions please move on to the next session or contact me personally should you need assistance in this regard.

The Training Program is Heart Rate based, however I would encourage you to ride to feel (RPE) in conjunction with heart rate to get the most from each session

This is the first cycle of the plan. The focus is to get you accustomed to following a structured training program while improving your general conditioning.

We will go through a complete training cycle during this phase of training. The second phase will follow a similar pattern, so we are building a base for you to work from when we do some more event specific training in the second cycle.
