Plan Description

8-Week Strength Plan for Endurance Athletes

Summary & Expectations:


This 8-week strength training plan is designed for cyclists, triathletes, and endurance athletes looking to build strength, improve stability, and enhance performance without interfering with their primary sport.

Who This Plan Is For:



  • 🚴‍♂️🏊‍♂️🏃 Cyclists, Triathletes, and Endurance Athletes – Suitable for all levels

  • 📅 Athletes Looking for a Structured Strength Routine – Complements endurance training

  • Time Commitment: ~5 Hours Per Week – Strength + mobility work

Weekly Breakdown:



  • 🏋️‍♂️ 3 Strength Sessions Per Week (~60 min each)

  • 🚶‍♂️ Daily 20-Minute Deliberate Walks (2.5 hours total per week)

  • ☀️ Daily Morning Mobility Routine (~5 min/day) (35 min total per week)

What to Expect:



  • The exercises remain the same each week—only the intensity changes based on progressive overload.

  • Due to limitations of TrainingPeaks Builder, I had to set the rep range as either 6 or 8, or 10 or 12. However, your actual rep range is 6-8 or 10-12, depending on how you feel and your training goals.

  • Weeks 1-4: Foundational strength, progressive overload

  • Weeks 5-7: Pushing toward peak strength

  • Week 8: Recovery & transition to in-season maintenance

  • Full-Body Strength Workouts – Focus on endurance, power, and injury prevention

Equipment Needed:



  • 🏋️‍♂️ Access to a full gym (barbells, dumbbells, cables, machines)

  • 📲 All exercises can be found in the TrainingPeaks Strength Training Library

Communication & Support:



  • 📩 Have questions? Email me at Chuck@kylecoaching.com

  • 🙏 Special thanks to Coach Brian Abers from BriHop Coaching for the daily morning routine!

Let’s build strength and set up your season for success! 🚴‍♂️💪

Achieving success is a common goal, although the definition and its path are as varied as opinions of the best tire pressure to use during a muddy, wintery cyclocross race. While Feed Zone cookies may be a great recovery food after a race, a cookie cutter approach is something you will not experience with us.

Chuck combines lessons learned from years of racing with the most recent innovations in exercise science literature to craft training plans and programs that deliver measurable results.
