Plan Description
Designed by Endurance Coach, University lecturer, and Sports Physiotherapist Tim Pigott BSc MSc, in partnership with Emma Pooley and Kate Disley, this plan encapsulates their education, experience, success and passion for helping thousands of people achieve their dreams.
Emma Pooley is a triple Olympian who has been world champion in both time trial and long distance duathlon. She won medals for Great Britain at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, as well as multiple UCI World Cups and stage races. As a multi-sport athlete she won the Alpe d'Huez and Embrunman triathlons. Though no longer a professional athlete, she still races (mostly trail running) and in 2020 she set a world record for Everesting as the first woman to go under 9 hours for the challenge.
Emma only took up cycling in her 20s and got into racing through sportives and club cycling, so she understands the importance of enjoyment as well as structured training. She has a PhD in engineering and worked alongside most of her professional cycling career. Now studying dentistry and medicine, Emma has joined Tim as an assistant coach at HP3, offering her wealth of experience to riders of all levels - from cyclists wanting to find more fun in the sport, though to those dreaming of becoming world champion themselves one day.
This plan starts on any Monday for a Saturday event. When entering this into your calendar, either select the Monday 12 weeks prior to your event, or to finish on the Sunday (the day after) your event.
You can reuse this training plan for future sportives.
This plan assumes your target race is on a Saturday.
This plan also contains a series of performance pilates sessions designed especially for this plan by Kate Disley. Performance Pilates is to be used as part of your strength and conditioning training, to help reduce the risk of injuries, target muscle imbalances and improve overall performance. Kate has over 15years experience working as a sports massage therapist and pilates instructor for both elite runners and cyclists, through to various teams.
