This is a highly focused plan for anyone looking to be race ready for time trial racing. The plan assumes that you have already established a solid foundation of endurance and strength training (if not see my 12 week base plan), and you also know what your current training zones are from a recent FTP or other critical power test.

Assuming you have a good base of fitness the next 8-12 weeks is where we finely tune the sessions, to hone your fitness to be specific for the demands of TT style events. I'm assuming the majority of your time trials are between 20 minutes to a couple of hours max in duration. Anything beyond that this plan might not be specific enough and I'd suggest getting in touch and I can personalize a plan for you.

In terms of timing you would want to have these 8 weeks completed probably 2-4 weeks before your first race, those weeks before the first race will be where we look to produce a peak and then try to maintain this for as long as possible (see my 4 week TT peak plan)

The other thing to ensure before starting this plan is that you are able to commit to the 8 weeks, they will be intense, especially the last 4 weeks. You need to ensure your other life stresses are balanced and that your sleep and nutrition are nailed, if not I can also provide help in these areas. There is no point doing all of this work if you can't recover well as this is where the magic will happen.
