Training Plans
A well thought out training plan is crucial in helping you achieve your goals.
The most important place to start is with a goal setting session and talking through your hours of availability to train – this sets the direction and framework of your training plan. We then measure your baseline fitness to create training zones and track improvements. We use basic FTP (functional threshold power) tests for the Foundation Plan and a full Power Profile test in the Performance Plan. Using the data and discussions, we will create a Yearly Training Plan (YTP) to maximize your improvements. We will focus on not only physiological traits, but also technical, tactical and mental skills.
We will use Training Peaks online software for programming workouts, analyzing data and creating our communication pathway. Other software such as WKO5 and Golden Cheetah are also used in the back end to dive deeper into your physiology and track your training impact.
Equipment expectations vary based on your goals. All athletes are required to have a heart rate monitor and while not necessary, power meters are encouraged. Outdoor training can be completed year-round with proper gear and an indoor cycling trainer can be helpful for short or specific winter workouts.
I offer two different training plans based on your needs. More details about each plan are found below.
If you are unsure of which plan is right for you, or simply have some training questions, please feel free to reach out for a free 20 minute coaching consultation over Zoom.
