To begin your sweet spot base training you'll perform a Field Test to set your training zones, especially the all important sweet spot training zone!  A second test half thru your plan will measure your improvement and update your training zones and a third a final test will do the same. Athletes can expect to increase their FTP by 5 – 20%! 

 In the final mesocycle of this plan you'll be doing long sweet spot TSS rides on Saturdays and short structured 'wintertime intensity' during the work week.   Weeks 13, 14, & 15 have the 3 > 4 > 5 minute VO2 Max Interval Progression to push your threshold even higher 🚀💪

• Detailed delicious day-to-day meal plan
• 3 Main Meals each Day + Snacks
• Each meal can be made in 10 min or less

If you are an endurance athlete who has tried to lose weight in the past, you know it can be tricky. Cut back too far on how much you are eating, and your ability to execute workouts diminishes, resulting in poor training adaptations. Yet, eating too much can also yield decreased performance. Finding that perfect balance between diet and training to reach their weight loss goals can seem overwhelming for many athletes. That is exactly why our Registered Dietitian, Lacey Rivette, has developed these plans! She takes the guesswork out for you!

The plan includes 3 Main Meals each Day + Snacks: 15 recipes total (including optional ones) that you can make in 10 minutes or less.** This plan shows you how to ‘Win In The Kitchen‘

**Note: Meal Prep at the beginning of each week is required to ensure every meal can be made in 10 minutes or less. Time to meal prep varies based on your cooking skills, but typically takes no more than an hour.
