Plan Description
Newly updated for 2025.
This plan has been revamped to incorporate all of the learnings through my coaching career. This is a plan for athletes with the ability to ride 16 - 20 hours per week. As such it's intended for those who have the ability to do longer volumes on both weekend days and one midweek day per week. This plan includes:
- Maintaining a consistent riding volume through each week.
- Some light tempo work to build fitness and boost threshold
- High torque efforts to build versatility and develop recruitment patterns
- Repeat sprints to take advantage of fibre type reversions that will have occured in your off season.
- Testing by stealth session to help outline training zones for you.
- Riding nutrition guidelines that reflect modern approaches to cycling nutrition.
