Frequently Asked Questions

Why base preparation is important?
You can't train hard year-round without taking regular periods of reduced volume and intensity. If you do, you'll find yourself burned out, over-trained, and perhaps injured. You may also find your performance degrading rather than improving. The base preparation will give you foundations upon you can build your intensity later on and will mainly improve your aerobic fitness (zones below your FTP).
The season should be divided into the recovery phase, base phase, specialized based, and racing phase. This will allow you to build your fitness like bricks on top of each other, month by month, year by year.
Most athletes build the base in the fall and winter when there aren't a lot of races. Our base training plans are best started 4-6 months prior to your first A-priority race of the season
-
What is entry fitness level?
It's ideal to start these training plans after an adaptation phase, which means 2-4 weeks of easier riding or recovery.
If you are a beginner, we recommend doing at least 2 to 3 weeks of endurance training prior to commencing the training plan
-
What coach support means?
