    How our plans work:

    • Getting your plan

      To deliver your plan, we use TrainingPeaks. You will need to create a free account. It's helpful if you use the same email for your account that you use to purchase your plan!

    • Completing the sessions

      Linking your TrainingPeaks account to your app of choice (Zwift, Rouvy, TrainerRoad) is easy. But reach out if you need any help!

      Your sessions will sync so you'll be able to hop on your trainer and complete them

    • Indoor & outdoor sessions

      Some workouts are suited to indoor training, especially the quick interval sessions. However, almost every workout can be completed outside too. All you need is a heart rate monitor to track your training zone.

      Within each workout description, I'll provide instructions for riding indoor vs outdoor!

    All your questions answered 👇

    What do I need?

    All our training sessions need either Power or Heart Rate in order to work for you.

    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

    Can I still ride with friends?

    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

    What if I miss a session?

    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!

    Can I move the sessions around?

    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

    Why pay for this plan when there's free plans on my training apps?

    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.
