Peak

Maximise in-season performance and minimise fatigue with a sensible balance between on and off-bike training in this 18-week plan.

Description

About this Programme

Many cyclists struggle to maintain performance and avoid burnout in the later stages of the season where fatigue can become a significant obstacle.

As a result, you can find yourself struggling to maintain your gains and unable to perform at your best when it matters most.

This training plan solves this problem by providing you with a structured training program expertly crafted for this time of the season. By breaking the 18-week phase into three six-week blocks, I provide a framework that you can use to limit fatigue and perform at your best when it really matters.

By following my guidelines, you’ll be able to maintain strength & power without feeling sore or tired, giving you what you need to excel on race day and achieve your goals.

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 maintenance and mobility work, but there are also recovery & regeneration sessions throughout the phase.
  • Typical time of year: Late In-Season. I recommend starting this mid-season.
  • Level of rider: Any.
  • Level of gym: Beginner/Intermediate. Some strength training experience would be helpful.
