This 8-week plan is for a cyclist or triathlete that has a power meter and a threshold wattage of about 170 watts. The athlete can train from 9 to 13 hours a week and has been cycling for at least 8 months to a year, and is excited about improving. You can put in between 2-4 hours on one of your weekend days. Your goal is to increase your threshold wattage and also increase your endurance in the 8 week period. Before beginning you should be able to complete a 40 mile ride and you would like to be able to compete a 60 mile ride in the near future. You are currently riding your bike from 4-7x per week, but lack direction, and exactly how to best use your power meter. To get the most out of this plan, it's important that you go through the testing protocols first, in order to make sure of your threshold wattage. Please read the accompanying documents in order to review the testing protocols.
