Hey all, So, my main goal for next year has fallen through, meaning i’m without a specific event to aim for with training. My new goal for this next season is to basically become as fit as i possibly can by the end of the season (September time). Ideally, I’d like to try and bump FTP by around 10%…

What you’re suggesting is what I’m doing right now, so :+1: I’m hoping with this training plan I can develop a really robust aerobic base, lift my FTP (I’d like to go from 314 to 340-350) and be able to hold high levels of my FTP for sustained periods. So far it’s working out great and is seriously …

If your general goal is increased fitness then the plan you have laid out is fine. I would recommend some variety - perhaps throw in a general build instead of sustained every once in a while. Also - don’t forget a bit of downtime once in a while - you likely cannot train for 11 months (November to…

Thank you both, much appreciated. And yes @trpnhntr , that’s a good point actually. Where would you recommend slotting in some downtime - end of the cycles?

I’ve been doing TR workouts without a break for exactly 11 months now and I feel great. If I took some time off I might feel even better I guess, but I still have high motivation and hit every workout hard. I find the recovery weeks are enough to take it easy and recharge. I have some vacations comi…

Thanks all, much appreciated :slight_smile:

So after completeing Build LV is the suggestion to do a full base LV of 12 weeks or to do 6 weeks and then move back to another Build?

Thanks so much @Rizzi . I think that I may consider @Nate_Pearson option #1. I’m 66 and am not sure that cumulative fatigue is a big problem that I can perceive, but I’m weight lifting 2 days a week and my ftp has been pretty stagnant so perhaps a slightly longer and less taxing base may actually be …

No specific goal - What plan order to follow?

Both is possible. As long as feeling good physically and mentally you could go right Base Part 2 and then Build. Or take a look here for some in between approach:
