Plan Description

The Compete plan for Challenge Roth is the sharp end, for racing near the front of your field. Around 15.7 hours a week at higher density, with the key sessions that turn a solid result into a standout one. Every session tells you exactly what to do and why, in plain language. The load builds week on week and then eases back so the work lands, the hard sessions are dosed the way the research says fitness is actually built rather than piling on junk volume, and every target is set as a percentage of your own FTP and threshold pace, so the plan fits you and not an average.
