TALK ABOUT THE COMPLETE WINTER TRAINING PLAN!!!! This is a comprehensive 12 week winter training plan for the cyclist, triathlete or Mt. Biker that uses a power meter or a trainer that shows watts, and has a threshold of about 270 watts. You can train from 8-12 hours a week and you have been riding for at least a year(this could be your first 'off-season'). This plan can be started anytime during the winter, and it also includes 2 weeks of 'BONUS' workouts in the weeks 13 and 14. These 'BONUS' workouts are for you to plug in and use throughout the winter, if you need. The plan is complete without them, but these are just
'BONUS' workouts for you over-achievers! This winter plan includes a resistance training plan designed specificially for you- the endurance athlete. The resistance training plan is comprehensive, explaining all exercises, sets, reps and goes for the entire 12 weeks. This is attached to your training plan with a printable spreadsheet that you can take with you to the gym to assist you in tracking your progress. I have also included cross-training workouts to do at the gym in order to continue your aerobic capacity development, while doing other complimentary exercises. All cycling workouts are designed to be done indoors, but are easily adaptable to outside if you live in a warm climate during the winter. Your plan starts out by easily transitioning you into a solid resistance training program, and also moving into some fun cross-training workouts. Of course, you will still be doing some great riding and each cycling workout has a specific focus to it, so don't worry about having to 'drone' along on the trainer for hours at a time. These indoor workouts are specific, challenging and will make the time go by quickly. Then as the winter continues, you move into building your 'power' or muscular endurance and strength. Finally the last 4 weeks of the plan have you progressing into Sub-Lactate Threshold work and prepping you for better weather and the upcoming race season! This winter plan is an incredible value at $99.95, and includes hours and hours of specific work designed to make your winter 2011/2012 season your best! If you want to take it to the next level in your 2012 season, then this is the plan for you!

**To get the most out of this plan, it's important that you go through the testing protocols first, in order to make sure of your threshold wattage. Please read the accompanying articles above in or to review the testing protocols and definitions.**
