Results Roadmap

Build towards your goal with our structured training process the Results Roadmap. Our experience shows working progressively through the 3 key development phases will ensure the best results for your cycling goals. The 3 key development phases are Base, Build, Perform. As you progress through each phase your training will become more focused on your end goal.

Have confidence all our training is science-backed and experience guided. Every plan is built using the latest scientific research and more than 25 years of cycling experience to constantly improve the training and make you better, faster.

Phase 1: Base

General and Quality Conditioning
Duration: 8-12 weeks
Training levels: 1, 2, 3 & 4
Description: These training sessions will improve your endurance and strength.

Training Sessions in Phase 1 are endurance and strength based. It is the work performed here that lays a foundation for future power and speed work.

All workouts are at a low to moderate intensity. The power levels used are 1, 2, 3, and 4. Recovery, endurance, tempo, and threshold. Training at these levels is great for burning fat, increasing the strength of your heart, and improving cardiovascular health.

‍Other benefits include: Increase energy, circulation, heart health, core strength, stronger muscle, tendons, and ligaments.Use these training sessions for weight loss, encourage mitochondrial proliferation, increases muscle capillarization, neuromuscular facilitation, postural, core strength development, and increase stroke volume.

Phase 2: Build

Specific Conditioning and Anaerobic Capacity
Duration: 8 weeks
Training Levels: 4, 5, & 6
Description: These training sessions will improve your power and speed

Training Sessions in Phase 2 are power and speed based. Power and speed are where you start doing higher intensity work for shorter intervals. work. It will turn your strength into faster and stronger contractions and improve your ability to handle work at a higher intensity.

These workouts are performed between level 3, 4, 5, and 6. Tempo, Threshold, V02max and neuromuscular. Power training is a wide category to draw from and we have a large variety of workouts to choose from when building a plan. Sprinting is the best way to improve speed and we prescribe various combinations of sprint type intervals.

Other benefits include: Increase, anaerobic threshold, V02max lactate clearance, stronger tendons and ligaments, prepare for racing, increase muscle high energy phosphate stores, neuromuscular power.‍

Phase 3: Perform

Taper, Peak and Perform
Duration: 4 weeks +
Training Levels: 4, 5, 6 & 7
Description: These training sessions will improve many things

This is when all of your training comes together. This coordination of physical development is called Peaking. There are many options open to you when you reach this state of development so workouts in this category contain a wide range of intervals. Speed can be mixed with power. Endurance can be combined with power and speed. There are many options in the this to taper and peak but each session is built specifically to prepare you to perform at your best when it counts.

Other benefits include: Increased muscular strength, anaerobic threshold, storage of short-term fuel.
