The Base Training Cycling Plan
What is The Base Training Cycling Plan?
The base training cycling plan, developed in partnership with Veloptima and InPursuit Coaching, is 12 weeks long and provides 3-5 weekly indoor smart bike sessions to help you build the perfect cycling training foundation during off periods.
Contradicting the traditional thought ofwinter cycling trainingmeaning long and steady miles in the saddle, the base cycling training plan incorporates more intense sessions focussing on strength and maximal power. This helps build your fitness and creates a platform on which to base event-specific training, ready for the spring and early summer season.
