12 Weeks to Crushing the Local Group Ride
Written by Tim Cusick, TrainingPeaks WKO Product Leader and master coach with BaseCamp
Plan overview
Let's face it, this is the part most of us love about cycling: crushing our weekly group rides. Well, here is the plan for you! The plan focuses on the systems you need ready for these challenging rides. You'll build your threshold and also work on the short. punchy style you need for group rides, including 1-minute, 3-minute, and 5-minute efforts. No more getting dropped off the back! You'll surprise your friends and finish strong with the leaders.
This 12-week plan is geared toward the competitive cyclist who has some foundation training in place but wants structure and guidance to get faster and stronger in a short period of time. The plan uses WKO and the Power Duration Curve. Your workout prescription will be individualized based on your data following the PD Curve as you gain fitness. iLevel plans are for the serious, competitive, power-training cyclist. You will need to have a power meter and the TrainingPeaks WKO software.
All our plans come with predicted TSS and ongoing testing, and they include the all-new progressive, fatigue resistance, intensive, and extensive workouts! Our training plans are so powerful you won't need a coach. Ride your best this season and CRUSH your buddies!
Included with your plan:
- Instruction sheet (attached to the first day of the plan)
- Testing protocol
- Strength training routine from Menachem Brodie
