12 Week Road Base Training Plan - Beginner  $60.00   
Plan Description and Athlete Profile    View the Plan Preview
This training plan is designed for beginner riders looking for a detailed, structured training plan to develop their base fitness. It is based on 3 week training cycles (2 hard, one easy). Four 3 week cycles comprise the 12 weeks. The program incorporates weekly training hours between 5.5 and 10 hours, so it is also ideal for riders with very limited available training time.

12 week Road Base Training Plan - Intermediate  $60.00   
Plan Description and Athlete Profile    View the Plan Preview
This training plan is designed for intermediate riders (with at least one full season experience) looking for a detailed, structured training plan to develop base fitness. It is based on 4 week training cycles (3 hard, one easy). Three x four week cycles comprise the 12 weeks. The program incorporates weekly training between 6 and 12 hours.

12 Week Road Base Training Plan - Advanced  $60.00   
Plan Description and Athlete Profile    View the Plan Preview
This training plan is designed for advanced riders (with at least two seasons of experience) looking for a detailed, structured training plan to develop base fitness. It is based on 4 week training cycles (3 hard, one easy). Three x four week cycles comprise the 12 weeks. The program incorporates weekly training time between 7.5 and 15.5 hours.

12 week TT Training Plan  $60.00   
Plan Description and Athlete Profile    View the Plan Preview
This training plan is designed for all levels of cyclists with a short to medium length Time Trial as their goal race (10KM -25KM). This program is Heart Rate based. It is based on a 400 annual hour training program, but can easily be adjusted for more or less available training hours. The workouts are very time trial focused. It also assumes that the rider will have built a decent aerobic fitness base before starting the program. I would recommend at least having a solid 4-8 weeks of base fitness training before starting this program.
