Plan Description
“Lay the foundations this off season for future records and breakthrough performances!"
The 12 week base training plan is designed to help you make big improvements in leg strength, pedaling efficiency, sprinting, endurance and threshold power. The plan is designed to work indoors as well as outdoors and is designed with the Workout Builder feature which provides your personalized power targets for each training session. Additional benefits of the Workout Builder format include direct training session download to your Garmin or Wahoo device and training session upload to Zwift, TrainingRoad, CycleOps and more.
Designed by former professional and multiple national champion coach Simon Kessler of Simon Says Cycling, coach Simon has coached for 25+ years and has enjoyed an incredible track record as a coach which includes state and national champions on multiple continents in road, track and mountain biking.

Training plan description: This 12 week Training Plan is designed 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. You may be a regular A or B group rider and/or participate in road racing.
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. Before starting the plan you should have a good level of fitness and be accustomed to training 7+ hours/week.
