“Build your engine and make the most of your limited time with Sweet Spot training"

Training plan description: The 6 week Sweet Spot training plan is designed to make the most of your limited time with 4 sessions per week focusing on what is called Sweet Spot. Sweet Spot (also referred to as Sub Threshold and Tempo) is the intensity just below and right up to your Threshold power. Training at this range of intensity has been shown to be highly effective in making big gains in Threshold improvements with less suffering and mental fatigue compared to frequent high-intensity intervals.

This is part 1 of a total of a 2 part Sweet Spot build plan (12 weeks total). The Plan builds with a 2-week training block of increased TSS and hours followed by an easier third week. The first build week starts around 350 TSS/week and builds to around 500 TSS/week by the end of the 6 weeks of training. If you already train around 500 TSS/week you may want to begin with Part 2 (view plan>) of this plan. Before starting the plan you should have a good level of fitness and be accustomed to training 6+ hours/week.

The plan is designed to work indoors and outdoors and is designed with the Workout Builder feature providing personalized power zones 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.
