Plan Description

KyleCoaching training plansAre you as fit as you need to be to really start training?

Do you know what is your Chronic Training Load?® Do you have your base fitness?

Designed for Beginner to Intermediate cyclists who use TrainingPeaks and have a power meter, the primary goal of this training plan is to help you increase your Fitness.

Crafted by USA Cycling-certified coach and competitive Masters racer Chuck Kyle, this plan encapsulates his passion for the sport, his experience from years of training and his success coaching dozens of cyclists.

This plan is an 8-week base plan (8.5 to 9.5 hours per week) that will assist in getting you a solid aerobic foundation so you can begin training for your next event.  This plan is a prelude to other plans that help build your FTP, FRC, Pmax, and any other high intensity aerobic and anaerobic systems.  If you already have a Chronic Training Load of 50 TSS/day or higher, stop now and move on to a plan that is more focused to the items that you need to build beyond base fitness.

Prior to using this plan, you should be able to do an hour and a half endurance ride

    Achieving success is a common goal, although the definition and its path are as varied as opinions of the best tire pressure to use during a muddy, wintery cyclocross race. While Feed Zone cookies may be a great recovery food after a race, a cookie cutter approach is something you will not experience with us.

    Chuck combines lessons learned from years of racing with the most recent innovations in exercise science literature to craft training plans and programs that deliver measurable results.
