Plan Description
Base Phase Training Plan: Female Cyclists 50+ (Indoor)
This 8-week Base Phase plan is specifically designed for female cyclists aged 50 and over who prefer to train indoors. It focuses on building the essential aerobic endurance and muscular strength needed to maximise your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) in the next training phase. Laying a solid foundation in this phase is key to future cycling success, ensuring you are prepared for the more intense efforts of the Build Phase.
Who is this for?
This plan is ideal for female cyclists over 50 who train primarily indoors and want to build a strong fitness base. Whether you’re preparing for an event or aiming to improve overall performance, this programme provides a structured, progressive approach that suits all indoor cyclists, regardless of discipline.
What to Expect
Throughout the 8 weeks, you’ll follow a gradual progression designed to steadily improve your endurance and fitness without overtraining. The workouts are structured for smart trainers and are fully compatible with TrainingPeaks Workout Builder, ensuring each session is precise and easy to follow. By the end of the Base Phase, you will have built the endurance and strength necessary to tackle the higher intensities of the Build Phase.
Equipment Needed
You’ll need a smart trainer and access to TrainingPeaks to track your workouts and monitor your progress. The smart trainer ensures structured intervals and effective indoor sessions, while TrainingPeaks helps you stay on track with your training goals.
