With the exception of our Foundation Plan, which only requires a bike, you will need for following for all other Training Plans:

You'll need:

✅ A bike
✅ A Heart Rate Monitor
✅ A TrainingPeaks Account (free)
✅ Ability to track power either indoors (on a turbo/Wattbike) or outside on your bike

Good question!

While app-based training plans can offer structure and convenience, they often lack the human touch. They’re built around one goal: physical progress—no matter the cost. There's little room for empathy, real-world nuance, or the deeper support that keeps athletes motivated for the long haul. It's a rigid approach: do this to get fitter, don't and you won’t.

Our plans are different. Created by a real coach, they come with genuine support and a like-minded community. More than just workouts, we focus on building the mindset, habits, and lifestyle that help you become a stronger, smarter, and more consistent rider—one who can train effectively around real life, not in spite of it.

Each session is designed to be completed within your training zones - bare in mind that training with others can make that difficult.

However, certain sessions will be performed at a consistent pace. Provided you are at a similar level of fitness, or can control the pace, riding these with friends should be no problem at all

Don't panic! Life gets in the way sometimes. The plans take a long-term approach to training, so one session won't set you back.

If you miss a week or more through illness or injury, make sure you're fully rested before restarting the plan. If you can, try to increase the volume.

If you're ever unsure, reach out to me for help!

Of course - try to keep the same order of sessions, as they are planned to be progressive.

The plans are originally set out to work around the usual working week (shorter midweek sessions, longer weekend sessions)

You can move these around to suit you

Yes, this is fine if you normally ride more. You are looking to build fitness throughout your plan, so I would not recommend riding loads in week 1 and then nothing in week 2 for example. Make sure you get the key sessions in and refer to the focus of the week with your additional riding.

I am keen to make these plans more of a framework for your training rather than forcing you to stick to it religiously. It needs to fit in with your lifestyle so you will have the flexibility to do more or less than is in the plan as long as you are consistent.

Once a training plan is in your Training Peaks account - you have it forever!

You can go back and do the plan again by logging into your Training Peaks account, and finding the sessions again. Provided you have updated your FTP and training zones before starting, you can continue getting fitter
