Plan Description
Great choice! This is Base Plan is Consistently a Top Plan on Training Peaks!
About This Plan
This plan is a Base or 'General Preparation' plan that is meant to be flexible and effective training plan that YOU CAN FINISH!
It is meant to help you gradually accumulate general fitness for offroad cycling disciplines. This plan is meant to precede a 'build' or 'specific preparation period'. It is typically performed 4+ months out from your main event but may be used closer for endurance oriented events or for athletes lacking general fitness.
This plan builds your capacity for tempo/sweet spot while also working on cadence and coordination. Strength/Core/Mobility is included and progressed to help you arrive healthy and strong for your specific preparation period (i.e. Cyclocross or MTB or Gravel)
Is This Plan For You?
This is a really flexible plan that assumes you are going to do some indoor cycling, outdoor cycling, strength and some cross-training. Bike workouts can be done outside if you do not want to train indoors.
If you want to do your base phase outdoors, mostly on your mountain bike please see our Outdoor MTB Base Plan . If you are quite time limited and/or you ONLY WANT TO TRAIN indoors we also have a Time-Limited Indoor Base Plan.
The weekly volume in this training plan ranges between 4 and 11 hours but provides guidance and ranges to extend the longest weeks up to 15+ hours if you have the time and experience.
