Sweet Spot Training Plan, Part 3 for athletes who are racing soon but still need to build a base/ride more/raise CTL/increase threshold power. This 6-week plan is great to begin after you have completed sweet spot parts 1 and 2 or need to hit turbo with your sweet spot training. When we recorded our "Switch from Base to Race" the Sweet Spot Part 3 plan was exactly what we were talking about.

• Perfect for the CX athlete that likes to plan ahead and build a solid base
• Includes structured Sweet Spot intervals + skill work so no watts are left on the table!
  

Each week you’ll progress thru structured sweet spot intervals and practice your skills while sweet spotting. On the weekends you'll have the option to join group rides (where we coach you how to sweet spot on the group ride). There’s also recommendations for riding longer/shorter for flexibility so you can stay on track when life throws a curve ball.

There are run workouts too! And we aren’t talking about ‘jogging’ – these are run workouts specific to cyclocross. And since its pre-season you’ll work on your explosive power with standing starts and plyometrics >> All in the name of accelerating quickly off the start line, after a bike remount, out of corners and slow techy course sections.

Once you finish this plan, you will be ready to move onto the harder stuff, aka cyclocross intervals!
