Ramp

Get race-ready with my Preseason “Ramp” plan. Focus on honing your strength with easy-to-follow gym sessions, and manage fatigue with specific recovery plans.

Description

About this Programme

As the start of the competitive season approaches, many cyclists may find themselves struggling with fatigue and balancing your off-bike training with increased on-bike sessions. This can lead to a decline in performance and potential injury.

The Ramp plan addresses this by providing a plan specifically designed for the later stages of preseason training.

With a focus on managing the increasingly difficult balance between on and off-bike training, we’ll manage fatigue while maintaining the progress made during earlier phases of training.

By using TrainHeroic, a mobile training app, the plan can be accessed remotely and easily integrated into your busy schedule. The strategic approach of the plan optimises training time and helps you prepare for a successful competitive season.

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: 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.

The objective of this plan is to help you manage your on and off bike work efficiently, so that you can maximise the benefits of both. Over the 8 week block, gym work volume will reduce to make way for more time on the bike.
The plan lasts for 8 weeks and is broken down into two four-week blocks and is specifically designed for the later parts of preseason training.
This is a pre-written plan that is specifically designed for cyclists at this stage of the year. I have provided alternatives for every gym-based exercise, so you can work effectively no matter where you are or what equipment you have access to.
Off-bike sessions are planned to give you enough time to get on the bike, however if you need to complete two sessions on the same day, complete your gym work before intervals, but after endurance sessions. The greatest adaptation will be generated by the session closest to sleep.
Although the focus is on strength maintenance rather than driving further adaptation, you will still be able to improve strength if you stick to the plan, particularly if you are relatively new to gym training
