Start Training Right Today!

Whether you’re a casual rider or an Olympic cyclist, we know how anxious you are to begin training, so we’ve made it as easy as possible for you to get started. And if you’re used to filling out pages of information just to get a stale generic training plan, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Because after 30 years of training athletes, we’ve narrowed down what we need from you to a few simple questions. But that information is all we need to prepare the season plan, daily workouts, and training strategies you will need to get the results you want. Just tell us a little about yourself, your prior training and our program will prepare everything automatically for you. But if you’re a contender, you can always adjust and tweak your training plan as the season progresses to make it even more effective and precise. Actually, once you start training it’s a good idea to review your personal data to make sure everything is accurate because the quality of your workouts and season plan depends on this information. Please also feel free to call us. We’re here to help and advise in any way we can.

There is no reason to worry if your initial input was right. Once you proceed to execution of your daily workouts, you will be able to relate the targets with your actual training parameters. At that time you can revisit your personal data and make proper corrections. More so, you can always report your situation to us and we will make expert adjustments in no time. Either way – you are covered and always receive the best advise and guidance possible.

It’s impossible to overestimate the importance of your season plan, because without a quality plan that’s been personally prepared according to your individual goals and abilities, you’re doomed to failure… or at best stagnation. But even top coaches have difficulty preparing a quality plan, and that’s why nearly 500 coaches (training some 12,000 athletes) from around the world come to us for guidance every season.

Each plan we prepare is based on over 10,000 unique data points, and that’s just for a 4 month season. And every one of them is crucial to your progression. As soon as you register you will be able to use our Planning Tools to define the work you will need to accomplish in order to reach your training goals. This is the first step you need to take on your pathway to success.
All we need are the dates of your most important events, some personal information about you and your ability… and in seconds we will create an entire season plan for you that will sync your maximum performance days with your most important events. We will further sync your required training distances with intensity levels for each week and day of your training, producing clear, effort-by-effort daily workouts.

In this sample plan you can clearly see the total required volume for the season, as well as partial volumes for every day in it according to the energy zone you should be training in. As soon as you register you will be able to use our proprietary Season Planning Tool that can accommodate ANY planning need or desire. This will be your first step on the road to success, and will help you build a solid foundation to start your training.

Life is not perfect, and no matter how hard you try, nothing is ever going to go exactly as it was planned. That’s why we have an easy-to-use “Training Scheduler” that will allow you to fit your training hours around your activities. You pick the days and hours you want to train, and we will manage your weekly load and efforts in the best possible way. And if school, work, or family disrupts your training time, we will make the necessary changes to your training plan on-the-fly.
A good plan not only provides the perfect path to success, but also is one that can readily adjust to the detours you may encounter on the way to your goal. But we don’t want you to worry about the integrity of your plan if you have to stray from it. Our smart and flexible weekly planner is capable of re-distributing your required workload based on your preferences and still preserve the optimum stress levels you need for each day of training.

If you’re at all serious about training, you’re going to want to know exactly what to do and precisely how fast and how hard to do it. Our daily workouts are calculated with the accuracy you’ve always wanted, and are based entirely on your exclusive athletic profile. There are no hand-me-down or generic workouts here. Everything is prepared according to your abilities and goals, and are specific to your training needs and required progression.

Actually, every effort is calculated at the perfect stress level, ensuring it will have the intended effect you want. And everything all fits together like a Chinese jig-saw puzzle to make sure that each daily effort is fully coordinated with your overall season plan. This ensures that you will reach your goals, if not exceed them.

For competitive cyclists or experienced riders, workouts are presented in a slightly different format, a kind of shorthand that pros are used to. Either format you chose, you’ll never have to worry again about what to do today. You’ll always find an effective, challenging, and fun workout waiting for you every day you train. And if you’d like, you can share your workouts with fellow riders or of course keep them hidden from your arch rivals.

You will never have to guess any training task on any training day of your season. And of course, there are number of ways how you can export every workout into a cue form, share it with your friends and / or log your actual ride into special training log section for future analysis of your training (please view “Training Log” section):

Just about every training program has some kind of a training log, but not too many of them provide the analytical capabilities ours does. And that’s the real reason for logging in the first place. It’s really rather pointless to record your day’s mileage, if it doesn’t allow you to see where you are and where you’re going because analyzing those results will also tell you how you got there.

There are three types of forms you can use for saving your information. You can simply start with our default form, or even select a custom form that will allow you to enter results in your own format. But no matter which format you choose, your information will be processed and saved for training analysis.

In addition to different formats, we also offer 4 different ways to record your data. But no matter which one you choose, you will always get a useful and valid record of your daily training effort.

In any training plan it’s critical to know where you are in relation to where you want to be. Once you tell us your goals and we understand your abilities, we can create a perfect day-by-day model of how you should be progressing. By comparing this to the actual results you are accomplishing, we can make sure you’re precisely on course to hit your target goals of time and distance on the day you’ve chosen. Looking at it another way, this information also tells you how effective your training has been. And if you’re far off course, it can help you get back on track with remedial work, or in some cases even tell you to slow down. This is quite different from the typical training evaluators that merely graph your times, and hopefully improvement in them.
Our training program is based on studies of multi-annual “Effective Training Strategies. In that we apply a well-proven model of adaption that will lead to optimum performance under the influence of specific training conditions. That’s why we can provide the optimum path to your peak performance along with very practical daily and weekly training guidance. And we can do all of this in the background, so that you’ll never even know we’re there.
