Plan Description
PROFILE
This plan is designed for someone wanting to get into cycling or get back into cycling after a long lay off or perhaps you are new to endurance cycling. You are a busy person and can only devote three days per week to training. You need to see results quickly or you get discouraged.
Right now you are not cycling or doing any aerobic exercise. You will devote three days per week to cycling. If the days you can exercise are different than the ones shown on the plan, you can move the workouts to fit your personal needs. If possible, separate exercise days by a day off.
Use the rating of perceived exertion column the “Training Intensity” document to gauge your exercise intensity.
