The training is divided into two
five-week blocks with training targets within each block.

  • The initial phase is focused on building muscular strength and developing cadence, which in tandem boost fatigue resistance and reduce muscular fatigue.
  • In the next phase, volume is increased to enhance aerobic fitness by stimulating greater mitochondrial biogenesis (production of mitochondria — the powerhouse of the cell), enhanced capillarisation in the muscles (blood supply), and the development of slow-twitch muscles fibres. The low-intensity sessions help train the body to more efficiently use fat as a fuel source, while the higher aerobic efforts, in sweetspot and tempo ranges, improve economy.

Weekly cycling volume: 8-10 hours per week

  • Alternative training sessions off the bike help develop muscle groups that are not used in cycling, so as to continue building endurance while reducing the likelihood of injury as the training load increases.
