Plan Description
About This Cross-Training Friendly Plan
This plan is for you if you want to do a few different sports and/or disciplines. This training plan gives you permission to cross-train and is oriented for a cyclist who does another sport, like running. Unlike many coaches we love cross-training and many of our athletes will use many sports to reach their goals, which might be in only one sport or across a few different sports over the course of the year.
The plan requires 6-14 hours per week and ideally some flexibility to do double workout days 1-3 days a week to allow for strength and sufficient frequency across your cross-train and main sport.
This plan has been used by athletes who want to prepare for a running event while also maintaining their biking or who are going to do a lot of running (or another sport) in their base phase for preparation for a cycling event later in the year.
Is This Cross-Train Training Plan for You?
Base Plans mean that you are 3+ months from your goal. You can follow this plan up with our Cross-Training Build plan or a cycling specific build plan from our list of training plans.
This is suitable for someone who is free of injury that allows for the progressions in volume/distance/intensity to be well tolerated.
This plan is targeted at adults with jobs so it is not extreme in volume.
What Does It Include?
- Structured Workout Downloads are included for *many* bike workouts ( for Garmin / Zwift Etc )
- Many Workouts that can be done indoors if desired
- Strength routine that supports the demands of 2 sports + 1-2 weekly yoga/recovery sessions/week
- Workout Description with HR, Power and/or RPE - Flexible to your equiptment and preferences
- Guidance and Options to shorten or extend workouts based on goals and availability
