“Future Records and Breakthrough Performances start with a strong foundation of base and threshold training. This plan is designed to get you there!"

Our latest 12 week training plan is designed for the more advanced cyclist who already trains a good amount (10+ hours/week) and is looking to improve both threshold power and endurance. This is the perfect plan if you want to push your threshold and VO2 max higher while creating a strong foundation of fitness. This advanced plan includes 1-2 low carbs/fasted rides per week (mornings only) to boost your fat burning ability combined with a weekly high intensity, high carb session to improve and prime your glycolytic system.

The plan is designed to work both indoors and outdoors and is designed in the latest TrainingPeaks version (Workout Builder) which calculates automatically your customized power zones for each training session. Your daily workout uploads directly to your bike computer and indoor platforms like Zwift.

The plan is designed with 3-week training blocks followed by an easier week before starting the next 3-week block. Training session hours are around 2 hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, with longer rides scheduled for the weekend (up to 4 hours). You may cut down ride hours for indoor training or if time is limited in the work week. This is more of an advanced plan for cyclists who regularly train over 10+ hours per week. We have included a bonus power testing week (see week 13) which you can do before starting the plan and again once completing the plan. If you choose to test please let us know your results! We know you will make some big improvements!
