written by Tim Cusick, TrainingPeaks WKO Product Leader and master coach with BaseCamp
Go beyond a plan and get a FREE webinar! Tim Cusick explains how to use your own data to customize and enhance your training plan, and you get free access when you purchase any of our cyclocross plans. Instructions provided in the plan.
This is an 8-week cyclocross plan designed to prepare advanced or competitive masters road or mountain bike racers for the demands of CX races. The plan includes many high-intensity, on-bike workouts. Start this plan 8 weeks before your goal race or season kick-off. Each week includes 6-14 hours of workouts, with rest weeks scheduled in. For best results, complete an 8- to 12-week base of training before starting this plan if you haven’t raced and trained throughout the summer. If you’re coming off a road or MTB race season, take 1 to 3 weeks of rest/transition before starting this plan. As an advanced level plan, this plan features both a block training format late in the plan and some two-a-day workouts. The plan is intensive and designed to push you to a peak.
Included with your plan:
- User guide
- Testing protocol
- Coaching comments and tips
- Free cyclocross webinar
- Free strength training routine from Menachem Brodie
