Tackling the Triple Bypass this year? Our six week training plan will help you get your legs & lungs in shape for this legendary ride! Choose between a basic, intermediate or advanced training plan based on the amount of time you have to train per week, your age and your ability level.

This plan is periodized so your riding time and effort will increase over time to boost your strength and endurance for those long climbs. You can perform the workouts with a powermeter, heart rate monitor, or Rate of Perceived Exertion and a bike computer with cadence.

You’ll start with a Field Test to set your power and/or heart rate training zones, then hit the ground running with workouts! You’ll perform structured Sweet Spot and Tempo intervals mid-week and solo or group rides on the weekends. There are also recommendations for riding longer/shorter for flexibility so you can stay on track when life throws you a curve ball.

Additionally, this Triple Bypass training plan includes all the “marginal gains” details to get even stronger: Recovery Techniques, Rest Days, Yoga and Foundations with instructional videos for you to follow along with at home.

If you are more than 10 weeks out from the event, consider following the Climbing Plan or our 16 weeks of Sweet Spot if you are looking for the ultimate prep!

This plan starts with a 20 minute Field test to set your training zones via the included FasCat Wattage and Heart Rate Zones Sheet, especially Sweet Spot! Weekday rides include Sweet Spot and Threshold trail rides with some steady endurance miles too. There are also days to focus on just your trail skills because good trail skills = free speed! The weekends are chock full of Block Training where you'll ride back-to-back days of Sweet Spot on climbs and trails. In order to successfully race for 3 or 6 days around Breckenridge this August, you'll need to ride a TON of Sweet Spot! This plan incorporates plenty of Sweet Spot and some threshold work too so you'll be ready for those 10-30 minute climbs at altitude across multiple days!

You'll use the terrain instead of the timer to achieve 45 > 60 > 90 minutes of Sweet Spot on epic rides as you prepare your legs & lungs for this 3 or 6-day stage race. The long trail rides get you mentally prepared to be on your bike that long too!

This plan includes all the “marginal gains” details to get even faster: Recovery Techniques, Rest Days, Yoga and Foundation work – all you need is a physical therapy style rubber band and MOTIVATION! There are instructional videos in the plan for you to follow along at home.
