Plan Description
Base Phase Training Plan: Female Cyclists 50+ (Road)
This 8-week Base Phase plan is designed to lay a strong foundation for maximising your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) in the subsequent Build Phase. For female cyclists aged 50 and over, this phase focuses on aerobic endurance and overall fitness, ensuring you’re fully prepared for more intense, FTP-driven efforts to come. Building a solid base during this phase is essential for long-term success in any cycling discipline.
Who is this for?
This plan is perfect for female endurance cyclists, regardless of discipline, who are committed to building a strong fitness foundation. Whether you're preparing for competitive events or aiming to boost your cycling performance, this plan sets you up for future success by focusing on aerobic endurance and muscular strength.
What to Expect
Throughout the 8 weeks, you’ll experience a gradual progression in intensity, ensuring steady fitness improvements without the risk of overtraining. The plan is universally structured for all road cyclists and is compatible with TrainingPeaks Workout Builder, giving you precise, easy-to-follow sessions. By the end of this phase, you’ll be ready to enter the Build Phase with a solid base that supports significant FTP growth.
