Rev up your training for

peak performance

Description

Do you struggle to find the right balance between time in the gym and improving your strength and resiliency with time on your bike boosting your cycling performance?

The Ramp + phase is designed to help you overcome this challenge with evidence-based training that I’ve used with the best of the best.

With progressively challenging strength sessions and a sample cycling plan to support off-bike work, you will be able to stay engaged and motivated throughout your training.

This phase also helps you enhance your cycling performance by building on the gains made in the previous phase.

Here's how the plan breaks down:

  • On-bike sessions per week: 3-4 gradually reducing in volume, but building intensity.
  • 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: Preseason. I recommend starting this around 2 months before your season begins.
  • Level of rider: Any.
  • Level of gym: Beginner/Intermediate. Some strength training experience would be helpful.

Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

Of course, that’s why I’m here…plus, it’ll give you a host of other benefits, such as lowering your injury risk. However, the extent to which you improve will depend on several factors, including your current fitness level, how closely you adhere to the plan, and your individual physiological response to training. By consistently following the plan, you can maximise your potential to become a faster rider.
This phase is designed for cyclists with some strength training experience, but I’ve listed alternatives for each strength exercise, so you can get the benefits regardless of your experience or the equipment you have access to.
Generally, you can expect to spend 4-10 hours per week on cycling workouts, including strength training, mobility work, and off-bike training. The plan is designed to be flexible, allowing you to adjust it to your schedule and goals, so you can make the most of the time you have available.
Unfortunately, bodyweight training will not do the same job or provide the same benefits. Our aim is to lay strength foundations, which requires lifting external loads! To make things a little more flexible, I’ve provided alternatives for all the gym-based exercises, so you can swap exercises out.
You can easily track your progress throughout this phase using the TrainHeroic app. It allows you to log your workouts and monitor your progress, ensuring that you’re staying on track with your training. Additionally, you can make adjustments to the plan as needed and contact me through TH Chat to keep you motivated and accountable.
