Perform

The “Perform” plan focuses on maximising performance during the competitive stage of the season. It’s a 12-week, prewritten program delivered remotely via TrainHeroic.

Description

About this Programme

As the competitive season begins, many cyclists struggle with balancing training and avoiding fatigue while still performing on race day.

Striking the right balance between over and under-training can be challenging and can lead to soreness and injury, ultimately hindering your progress and potential for success.

With a focus on progressive intensity and a reduction in volume, this plan is designed to help you prepare for peak performance while limiting fatigue and injury risks.

With a sensible and structured plan in place, you can feel confident that you’re maximising your potential without putting your body at risk.

Here's how the plan breaks down

  • On-bike sessions per week: None. This is an off-bike only program.
  • Off-bike sessions per week: 2-3 mainly including strength work, but there are also mobility and high-performance recovery training sessions throughout the phase.
  • Typical time of year: In-Season. I recommend starting as the main part of your cycling season begins.
  • Level of rider: Any.
  • Level of gym: Beginner/Intermediate. Some strength training experience would be helpful.
