HOW MANY HOURS PER WEEK?
This plan is not for the faint-hearted and you would want to be starting this from a good level of fitness. It has been built around 10-12 hours of training per week. If this sounds too much then look at one of the other Mallorca plans to match your training time available. The plan consists of turbo sessions during the week using Power which are between 1-2 hours in length. There are also longer rides which have been scheduled for the weekends which can be completed using power or heart rate so you will be able to still ride with your club mates. This can be rearranged to suit your work/family schedule.
The power sessions are all totally compatible (export/sync required) with Zwift, TrainerRoad and Smart trainers with ERG mode.
5 TOP TIPS FOR COMPLETING THE EVENT
Having completed the event twice now and with the first year, I only made the first cut off point by 4 minutes. I thought I would share my top tips for the day ensuring that your day is not cut short!

WHY DOWNLOAD A TRAINING PLAN FROM RIDE HARDER?
There are so many training plans out there but they all only just include the training sessions. In my experience, this is not just what people need. For me, people need to understand why they are doing what they have been “told” to do. This is fundamental in sticking to the plan and making a real change for life not just a couple of weeks. Every workout states the purpose of the session and the training ability they will be working. Along with this, there will also be plenty of things to watch, tips, tricks and advice throughout the plan to help you meet the objective of the plan. Lastly, I have included personal development and wellness advice to make it easier to stick to the plan and live a healthier, happier you.

Love love love this programme. I Purchased the 16 week 312 training plan. Been using your plan for a month now and can already see and feel the difference in my strength and stamina when out on the bike Added bonus, I’m stronger up hills already and I’ve lost 6lbs in weight. Can’t wait to put all this training into action on 30th April Mallorca 312. Really enjoying the workouts, its a different way of training for me, as used to hard interval sessions for racing but I feel I’m just as strong building up the endurance. Thank you James.
