Plan Description
If you're looking to get started with training and consistency; this is the place to start. This plan focus is entry level!
Ideal for just getting into training, re-starting after time off, needing to focus on sub-threshold aerobic training to establish some base, etc.
The plans are power-based so best executed with a smart trainer or a power-meter, but if you have a traditional (non-smart) trainer set up with Zwift the power calculation will work.
The plans are power-based so best executed with a smart trainer or a power-meter, but if you have a traditional (non-smart) trainer set up with Zwift the power calculation will work.
If you don't have a Power meter, no problem. Instructions exist within the training plan to change the individual or all workouts to Heart Rate based prescriptions.
Need flexibility? We all do! So I've added suggestions within many of the sessions on how to:
1) shorten if necessary
2) lengthen if you feel good
3) take it outside from an inside structured session
4) shift or substitute days based on how you're feeling in real-time.
The workouts aren't designed to be "extensively overloading" with intensity. The sprinkling of some higher cadence fast pedals, lower cadence muscle tension force, as well as some short Tempo/Zone 3 and short Threshold is a happy mix of engagement & purpose that prepares you for more advanced training and loads.
The next progression would be some Step 1 Base plans with increasing Moderate to High volume or Stage 2 Build plans with accumulations of intensity.
