Description

About this Programme

Do you have a hard time balancing your strength work with on-bike training while still allowing for proper rest and recovery time?

To prepare for the upcoming season, many cyclists struggle to safely increase the intensity of their training. Whatever your level of experience, you may find it challenging to determine precisely what to do off the bike.

This program solves this problem by providing clear guidance. Cyclists with varying levels of experience can follow the program, with specific recommendations for those who are new to strength training or more experienced.

By following this plan, you can confidently prepare for the season ahead, knowing you have a structured and effective training program in place.

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: 2-4 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.
