This the next plan for you if you have just finished the first 8-week threshold improvement plan. If you chose the 200watts threshold improvement plan in the first 8 weeks, be sure to re-test your threshold, because now it is probably higher and this 200w plan will not be at the correct intensity for you. This plan is for a cyclist or triathlete that has a power meter and a threshold wattage of about 200 watts. The athlete can train from 9 to 13 hours a week, with a couple of weeks at 15+ hours(mainly from long rides on weekends) and has been cycling for at least a year, and is excited about going faster or getting into racing and/or improving their racing category. You can put in between 2-5 hours on one of your weekend days. Your goal is to increase your threshold wattage and also increase your endurance in the 8 week period. Before beginning you should be able to complete a 50 mile ride and you would like to be able to compete a 80 mile ride in the near future. You are currently riding your bike from 4-7x per week, but lack direction, and exactly how to best use your power meter. You would like to use your power meter to base your training on and also get a real focus to help you make it to the next level. To get the most out of this plan, it's important that you go through the testing protocols first, in order to make sure of your threshold wattage. Please read the accompanying documents in order to review the testing protocols.
