Plan Description

This is for the lead up to a racing season in either TT's, Crits or road races. This will focus mainly on building your aerobic system before you add more intensity as the race season starts. On the weekend you can substitute one of the higher intensity sessions for an early season race. This plan will work best for riders with up to 10 hours a week to train. If you have more time then add some volume on the endurance rides and vice versa if you have less time to train.

This training plan works best if you have an accurate FTP and are well rested coming into the 1st week of the training block


Why choose BIM BAM COACHING?

Charlie has provided invaluable support throughout my training and racing. Our dialogue after races and key training sessions has opened my perspective on my cycling. His training plans have brought the consistency I have needed to improve as an athlete while managing my studies. When I’ve been injured, ill or otherwise, Charlie has been quick to adjust both my goals and training. He has also provided motivational support (the bim bam) at the right times to keep me on the pedals.

James Brown

Charlie has been great and very accommodating towards my training over the past two years. Mixing training with my university degree has not been easy but Charlie has always been ready to discuss my needs and alter the plan to fit around with everything that's going on. He's great to talk to and has helped to achieve my goals!
