Plan Description

This 12 week Training Plan is heart rate based and offers one added bonus week. The plan is developed for cyclists who while leading a busy life can fit in 5 days/week of training, with typically 1-2 hours available Monday to Friday and 2-4 hours available on Saturdays and Sundays, for an average of 7-11 hours/week.

The plan builds with 3-week training blocks followed by an easier week of 6-7 hours before starting the next 3-week block. The goal of this training plan is for you to build a strong base of fitness and great threshold power with just 12 weeks of focused and highly effective training. Cycle drills, muscle activation exercises, fasted cycle training as well as optional endurance rides are included in this program. Before starting the plan you should have a good level of fitness and be accustomed to training 4/5 hours/week.

This plan includes email support from Coach Gyl. Do you have questions? Are you training for another race or personal improvement goal? Just visit us at goldentriathloncoaching.com or email Gyl at: contact@goldentriathloncoaching.com
