The following plan is based on outdoor training. If you need to train indoors due to inclement weather, adjust accordingly. This basic program will focus on developing a strong cardiovascular system (heart, blood & vessels), pulmonary system (lungs) and muscular system (muscles) for your event.
In general, training will include 4-5 training rides per week, with a different focus on each day. You can move the days around in the week, to suit your schedule. If you can only train 3 days per week, you can incorporate the focus from 2 days, into one. The rides will be based on planned miles. While the distance suggested does serve a purpose, adjust accordingly based on your schedule. The overall goal of this plan is to develop all energy systems and muscle fibers responsible to turn the pedals over and over and over and over on hilly terrain. By gradually incorporating the training and balancing the stress with recovery, your body will begin to adapt and improve. While this basic program is specific to cycling, it is recommended that you incorporate off the bike strength and core training as well. While this program does not incorporate the specifics to that training, you can seek further information by contacting Angie - angsturt@sbcglobal.net to create a core/strength training specifically for you.
THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM:
Your body will ONLY do what you train it to do. Meaning, whatever you do when you are training is what you are teaching your body to do. Your goal is to teach your body to ride hilly terrain for an extended distance. In order to achieve the necessary adaptation in the cardiovascular, pulmony and muscular systems, you will need to ensure you are working those systems. Training Zones are various levels or ranges you train to develop specific physiological adaptations. Since different physiological responses take place at different intensities, it is necessary to categorize and train each zone to achieve improved fitness. Given that physiology is individual and no two people are alike, it is essential to create training zones based on the individual’s physiological markers. Training zones should be set in relation to measurable physiological parameters. The Training Zones for this program will be based on one of the following: Heart Rate, Perceived Exertion or Power. In any case, it is recommended to have a metabolic fitness assessment to accurately determine these zones. Specialists in Sports Performance will provide this metabolic fitness assessment at a discounted rate to you. Contact angsturt@sbcglobal.net or go to www.vo2test.com for more info.
The Training Zones will correlate to the attached chart. Click on the "paperclip" icon in your Training Peaks account to download this chart.
Because we all are unique individuals, we will all have different responses to load/response training…meaning that "one size does not fit all" when it comes to training. This is a Basic Plan. Use this plan as a basic guide. Basic plans have room to add individual physiology and specific needs of the individual.
