This plan is for an experienced rider as they lay the groundwork for a season of more specific training. The workouts include power-based workout programming for indoor trainer riding. The expectation is that this program will be completed indoors; the programming is targeted for indoors. You will need a power meter or power-based trainer to complete this plan. The plan includes an FTP test on Day 1 and instructions for how to determine and add your FTP in TrainingPeaks. Note: It is important that your FTP is added correctly in your athlete settings so the programmed workouts are appropriate for you.
This plan can be used for road or mountain bike athletes prior to more specific training. It is designed around a Sunday or Monday rest day. If Monday rest day works for your schedule, start Day 1 on a Monday. (During week 1, Monday is a testing day). If you would like a Sunday rest day, start the plan on a Sunday. This plan includes 6 days of training per week. If you would like less days of training, choose one of the lighter workouts to sub as a day off.
This plan is semi-customized by including a 30 minute initial phone call with Coach Sarah to customize for your personal fitness, schedule, set-up, goals, and situation. It also includes the option for a monthly call to further customize. To set up your call, email sarah@kcyclingcoaching.com.
All KCC training plans come with a comprehensive document of best practices and guidelines. You will find this doc attached in your first day of training.
