About the Plan:
This 12 week program is a Intermediate Plan for women ages 45+ who are looking to make big gains in bike power and run speed in the pre-season or off-season. The plan utilizes a heavy emphasis on HIIT training, and is specifically structured to balance these HIIT sessions with active recovery.
Workout Distances & Durations:
Prior to starting this plan, you should have a good base of an average of 7-8 hours of weekly training for the past four weeks.
Your training volume for most weeks within the plan will include:
- 5400-5700 yards/meters of swimming / 3 swims
- 3 hours 30 minutes of cycling / 3 bikes
- 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours of running / 3 runs
- 60 to 90 minutes of strength and mobility work / 3 strength and mobility sessions
All Workouts Are Structured Workouts!
The plan uses the TrainingPeaks structured workout feature, providing precise workout details including pace or power targets for all segments/intervals within each workout. These workouts can be easily imported into devices, including most Garmin multisport watches and bike computers, as well as into trainer software such as Zwift.
