WHY OUR PLANS ARE BETTER

SCIENCE-BACKED.
PURPOSE-BUILT.

“The backbone of success is hard work, determination, good planning, and perseverance.”

— MIA HAMM

To become a faster cyclist, there’s an optimal, science-backed training process to follow. Structured training is a process by which you train specific energy systems while progressively stressing your body. As a result, you gain performance-boosting adaptations that increase your FTP, VO2max, and muscular endurance. Having a purposeful and specific training plan based on the proper science principles helps ensure your success.

Check out what some of our plan users have had to say about the plans:

Early this year I was looking for training plan(s) to get ready for NorthCape 4000....I found your plans on TrainingPeaks and after short mailing and recommendation of Kathy, I started with the stage race full season plan and ended my training with the road multi-day ultra event plan. Never did an ultra event before and what can I say: Your plans just worked perfectly! I was ready to tackle any of the upcoming challenges ahead....And I really had backup. I could have done more if needed to....Thank you for your training plans and the fast and easy support to select the right plans. They were easy to follow, understandable and I had a lot of fun doing them....I was able to achieve way more than ever imagined before.  

Alexander Kinnisch

Thanks very much for providing this recommendation back in the spring to prepare for the Marji Gesick in September. I purchased both of the plans you recommended and experienced huge improvements in FTP and overall fitness during the base build plus plan - thank you!
