This is part 4 of our 4-part mini-series of episodes that unpack and dive deep into the specifics of our newly released v4.0 Downloadable Training Plans. Our new for 2023 training plan progressions run through our three training blocks: Base Prep, Base Builder and Race Prep that culminate in a peak performance at your next A-event.
In this final part 4 episode, we dig into our final training block: Race Prep
With your general fitness established from base training, you’re ready for event-specific training in our Race Prep plans. The specificity comes from training the energy systems you will rely on in your A-event, combined with the amount of endurance your event will require. The durations of our Race Prep plans vary based on the length of your A-event in the following fashion:
- 6 Weeks for 0.5-1.5 Hour Events
- 8 weeks for 1.5-3 Hour Events
- 10 weeks for 3-6 Hour Events
- 12 weeks for 6-12+ Hour Events
The final two-weeks of each Race Prep plan includes a two-week Race Prep taper and peaking progression. This is where we drop training loads while maintaining the event specific intensity in structured training sessions that rid your system of fatigue while increasing your form and improving your ability to achieve a peak performance. Learn how we do it within each plan!
Lastly, for our valued podcast listeners, we provide a 25% discount code to be used on top of the already discounted pre-season pricing on all our v4.0 Downloadable Training Plans available through the Training Peaks Plan Store.
