Triathlon & Endurance Training

12 Week Cycling Plan

Build a stronger bike foundation to prepare you for race season.

Twelve weeks of structured training built around efficiency, strength, and power — so your bike leg holds up when race season arrives.

Don't just spin your legs.

Build the bike leg race season is going to ask for.
The Principles Behind the Plan

Three phases, one arc

Every week has a job to do. The plan climbs in a deliberate order so your fitness — and your legs — are ready on the day that matters.

Weeks 1–4

Efficiency

Pedal-stroke and cadence drills paired with aerobic endurance rides, plus an opening FTP test to set your zones.

Weeks 5–8

Strength

Low-cadence strength intervals and threshold work to build the raw power you'll lean on all season.

Weeks 9–12

Power

Race-specific, high-intensity efforts with a taper into a closing FTP test that shows how far you've come.

This plan comes out of years of coaching triathletes and cyclists through the same climb: building fitness that holds up when it counts, without guesswork about what to do on any given day.

Every plan is built around mindset as much as mileage — the goal isn’t just a stronger bike leg, it’s confidence that you did the work to earn it.

You want your ride to stop being the leg you just survive.
