Resistance Training Plan for Triathletes

• Builds a Big Aerobic Base
  
• Complete 4 month Training Plan with 3 Power Tests
• new Professional Level with 18 - 26 hours / week

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%! 

This 16 week plan is all new for 2022 and combine workouts from Sweet Spot Parts 1 - 4 in a progressive optimized training plan design.  You'll start off gradually and progress in sweet spot volume each week.  

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. 

• Prepares you for long gravel races like Mid-South, Unbound & more!
• Designed to have you ready to peak for your "A Race"

This six week periodized training plan is specific to long gravel races like the Mid-South , Belgian Waffle Ride, Lost and Found, Unbound, and Gravel Worlds. Each week centers around a looooong gravel 'simulation' ride on Saturday. You'll start with a field test to set your training zones with the included FasCat Wattage and Heart Rate Zones Sheet. Choose the "hilly' option for a course that has a lot of climbing or choose 'flat' for one without.

There are even tips on nutrition & hydration that you can practice on these simulation rides! Since Gravel Races are usually super hard, long events we recommend building as big a 'base' (high CTL) as you can beforehand with our sweet spot plans. Choose our 16 weeks of sweet spot plan if you have 16 weeks to train prior to beginning your gravel plan for the 6 weeks that leads into your race. Or if you have less that 16 weeks consider pairing our six week sweet spot plans beforehand: Sweet Spot Part 1, Sweet Spot Part 2 and Sweet Spot Part 3.

• Perfect for winter indoors
• Sweet Spot, Tempo intervals, Threshold Intervals
  

All new 💥 for the 2021/2022 indoor riding season. Winter can be a fickle season, forcing you to ride inside most days, then taunting you with a warm weekend reprieve when you want to get out and ride with a group. This 6-week indoor/outdoor training plan for smart trainers and Zwift incorporates short structured indoor trainer rides during the week and outdoor endurance rides on the weekends.  Or if the weather is crummy a plan B indoor workout that yep you guessed it, can be done on the “Island” aka Zwift.

We’ve combined advanced aerobic endurance and variable power workouts (like Sweet Spot) to maximize your trainer time! Indoor rides are one hour Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday so you can get on, work hard, and get on with your busy day.  The weekends include either/or options for group rides or trainer rides so you can choose whichever one best fits the weather that day. This indoor/outdoor cycling training plan definitely caters to the “time-crunched” athlete! The trainer is more time-efficient so indoor rides are kept short, but we’ve also included more creative indoor weekend trainer ride options to help you keep your mind fresh during the cold, dark months of winter!

All of the interval workouts in this plan can be exported to your compatible Garmin, wahoo, smart trainer, or indoor training app like Zwift. Speaking of Zwift, this plan coaches you on how to benefit from training on Zwift in a way that is incredibly fun and productive!

What to expect: The plan gradually starts with tempo workouts, then progresses through harder Sweet Spot and Threshold intervals. It includes a smorgasbord of variable power workouts like Over/Unders, Crisscrosses, Bursts, and Pyramids as you progress through 6 weeks. You’ll perform a field test in week 4 to set your FTP (Functional Threshold Power) and update your training zones.

• This plan will put you on the start line prepared to crush some massive climbs!
• Tempo, SS & Threshold intervals during the week + group rides and/or harder efforts on the weekend

Whether it's Strava PR's or a race with some serious vertical gain, this six week climbing training plan will put you on the start line well prepared. You'll start with a 20min Field Test to set your Functional Threshold Power and Heart Rate in the included FasCat Zones Sheet, then use your training zones to ride just hard enough to get faster & stronger without burning out so you can go hard again the next day! That means lots of Tempo and Sweet Spot as well as Threshold intervals during the week and group rides or other harder efforts on the weekends.
