Plan Description
This is an 8-week "build" block of structured training designed by White Pine Athletics' Head Coach Kyle McFarland.
This plan is ideal for pre or mid-season sharpening. This is ideal for road cyclists, triathletes looking to up their bike fitness, XC MTB riders, and gravel racers looking to add some power to their skill sets.
This plan assumes you already have some form of fitness on the bike. This is a BUILD block so sessions will range from easy recovery rides to high intensity sprint drills.
Details:
Each session can be performed either inside or outside, and can be exported to devices such as Bryton, Garmin, Wahoo, Zwift, etc.
Included in the plan:
- Initial testing protocol
- Strength and mobility sessions
- Sessions that build on each other from week to week
- Helpful articles, tips and tricks
Smart trainer or power meter is encouraged, heart rate monitor not required.
