Plan Description

This indoor-specific and Zwift and RGT-compatible training plan is designed to get you started with your winter base training. The intensity levels are moderate--focusing on Sweet Spot efforts and working up to some Sub-Threshold work.

This plan is intended to prepare you for future training blocks without burning out on the trainer as your progress during the winter months. Each week includes two workouts that are an hour or less and a slightly longer ride on the weekend. Riders looking for more volume can fill in the other days with endurance riding or outside rides.

This plan is suitable for people who are new to structured training and experienced riders looking for a mid-intensity base period that is time-efficient. The plan includes recommended adjustments for more experienced riders. This plan includes email support from the coach.
