I thought that I could put one together with the help of the book and my other reading material... I've realised that I was wrong! I've found a few training plans from British Cycling that look to be...

Judging by all of the responses being in Dollars I don't think we've had a UK example. My last sportive was £35 and I think it was good value, I'd certainly think about doing another. Also now I've...

I'm not saying it's perfect but my FTP is clearly not 72 watts. It's also not really the point of the thread.

Carbonfiberboy Still confusing but thanks! Ahh I've seen stomps before, Chris...

I'll try and give a little more. I'm not thinking at all about racing or at that level. I use Zwift midweek then try and get out at the weekend on a longer ride. I think the book is pitched at...

Confused about different types of training sessions

I'm trying to create a training plan from scratch but just when I think I've cracked it I come across more confusing jargon!

I try and keep it balanced. I do have to odd takeaway or fatty and high-calorie meals but I limit these. A lot of meals are freshly prepared and nutritious and I try to make good choices. Things I...

I did some lifting 5-10 years ago, I still remember how to make a plan that shows progression. Hoy's book shows me the main lifts such as the big compound ones and a few extras. I'd add in a little...
