TRAINING METRIC

Percentage of Threshold HR

ABILITY

'PODIUM' means you are an outstanding athlete on the bike leg amongst your AG peers, regularly placing at the front of the bike splits if not on the podium. You may be a cat 1-2 biker or fast TT specialist. It's likely that you intend to qualify for AG World/European/National Champs or have already.

CONTENT

Av 4hrs over 3 workouts/week. Peak 5hrs

Fresh, different, highly rated and current. Many sessions pro derived. We follow Norwegian training methods and with just 16 weeks to go, expect high intensity from the start. Weekdays see challenging cross-threshold, VO2max and sweetspot indoor trainer workouts. Weekends feature 'wrap and fill' sessions – longer easy rides blended with harder intervals to build endurance, race specificity and resilience. These distances increase for each rise in plan ability. Pre race-day you benchmark your run-off performance with a series of bike simulations at different intensities. Plan includes 1-week taper, athlete selected S&C and workout alternates, flexible race week schedule plus FREE bonus (see below)

PERSONALISED and PROVEN

BIKEmodular plans offer a race-proven format that’s powered 100's of multisporters to surpass their race-day goals. You use heart rate as your training metric, so you'll do a threshold HR bike test to ascertain training zones and combine this with 'feel' during training. All workouts have 'progression challenge' built-in - they get tougher the more race-fit you get

CUSTOM MODULAR

You’re probably not equally strong across all multisport disciplines. Most one-ability plans don't adjust for this - you crush some workouts, others are a struggle. Asymmetric training across disciplines means lost performance gains. For you, the uncommon athlete chasing minutes and seconds, it's time to train different!

racestronger®CUSTOM single-discipline modules allow you to finesse each of your individual disciplines by ability level intensity and training metric and combine into one-fit-for-purpose plan. They integrate together seamlessly to create a perfectly weighted 'no compromise' endurance training programme designed by you, for you. Create yours here
