Plan Description
Before purchasing any of our plans, we recommend completing this questionnaire, which will allow us to advise on which plan(s) are best suited to you and your training goals, and how our plans can be combined to create a progressive and well-rounded training program.
This plan is intended for cyclists who are new to structured training, and/or who have recently had an extended training break with no training, or relatively low volumes of weekly training (6H/week or less) for a period of several months or more.
Through this plan, we aim to (re)condition your muscles and ligaments and build a base level of aerobic fitness that will help you to safely and successfully complete subsequent training involving higher volumes of both low and high intensity work.
The plan has four key objectives:
1. Gradually increase the length of your longest ride each week.
2. Gradually increase the length of time you can spend riding above your threshold power.
3. Gradually increase the length of time you can spend riding slightly below your threshold power.
4. Gradually introduce some high-power surges to begin activating your Type IIa and Type IIb (aka 'fast twitch') muscle fibres.
Who’s it for?
This plan is particularly suited to new or novice cyclists, cyclists who have had an extended break from training, or anyone who feels they need a more gradual introduction to structured training.
