Prep +

Take on the challenges of the upcoming season with my focused Prep + training plan designed to increase your strength & power and prepare you for the demands of cycling.

Description

About this Programme

Many cyclists struggle to maximise their potential during pre-season training because they don’t have a structured plan or focus on the right areas.

This can result in a lack of direction, wasted time and suboptimal progress. You might find yourself doing random workouts without a clear purpose or not seeing the improvements you want.

By following a specific plan that prioritises high-quality strength-training, you will make significant progress in the preseason that will translate to improved cycling performances during the competitive season.

My Prep + plan provides a roadmap for your training that ensures you’re focusing on the right things at the right time.

Here's how the plan breaks down

  • On-bike sessions per week: 2-3.
  • Off-bike sessions per week: 2-4 mainly including strength work, but there are also mobility and high-performance recovery training sessions throughout the phase.
  • Typical time of year: Preseason. I recommend starting this around 6-8 weeks after the end of your previous season.
  • Level of rider: Any.
  • Level of gym: Beginner/Intermediate. Some strength training experience would be helpful.

Required Equipment

Barbell & Discs, Bench, Bands

Recommended Equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

Still not sure whether Fast Fit Strong is the right kind of training for you? If you have any questions about the online coaching, types of training package, or what to expect, I’ve got you covered.

The plan is designed to improve strength, power, endurance, and recovery, all of which are essential for cycling performance. By combining off-bike strength training with on-bike cycling sessions, you will improve your overall fitness and cycling performance. Additionally, the plan includes mobility work to prevent injuries and flexibility to train remotely with virtual coaching.
All of my programs contain written and video descriptions of all the exercises, along with specific explanations of how I’d like you to perform them. If you need any extra help, you can reach out to me via TH Chat and I’ll happily give you a form check.
For the strength training sessions, you will need access to a gym or basic equipment such as dumbbells, resistance bands, and stability balls. For cycling sessions, you will need a stationary bike or access to a road or mountain bike.
This training plan is designed to be completed 7 days per week, however, there will also be specific recovery and regeneration sessions to ensure proper recovery and injury prevention.
This is a misunderstanding of how strength training is used for cyclists. My tried & tested methods have improved functional power from 30-min TT to elite-level stage races (where every gram matters)! Also, better body composition improves your power-to-weight ratio and reduces your CDA.
