Cycling Training Plans

TrainerRoad’s well-structured training plans gave me the ability to hold near-FTP for the hill climb TT, sustain power during a long uphill climb in the road race (~2 hours with some short downhill sections), and also have the “kick” to get into a breakaway during the crit following the road race. It boosted my confidence to know that, even with the Climbing Road Race plan, I wasn’t tied to a single type of training, and thereby had more versatility in my strengths.

Simple, it made me stronger than I have ever been on the bike. I used to just go out and hammer for an hour or so until I had turned myself inside out. I rode very hard and was faster than many of the folks I rode with, but there was no structure to my training. But once I started using TR training plans my FTP jumped about 30 watts and has continued to grow year after year (with the occasional dip as fitness cycles).

TrainerRoad and Plan Builder take the guess work out of training. The steady predictable, consistent approach to training never had me over-trained but consistently progressing toward my goals.

TrainerRoad helped me to be more consistent than in seasons past. Using the plan builder and the calendar features allowed me to have a set plan and visualize the work ahead. My target race was the first race of the season, so dedicated high quality trainer workouts allowed me to open the season in excellent form.
