Training information
The training is designed around the use of a heart rate monitor, power meter and or rate of perceived exertion (RPE). Heart rate zone training based on lactate threshold of the rider is the suggested model to benefit most from these plans, but a field test to determine threshold will bring similar results. More information is provided on a downloadable Detailed Description document after plan purchase.

Added Bonuses
Highlights of the plan include; Benchmark tests and a cycling field test to determine training zones, strength training periodization and core maintenance workouts as well as mileage suggestions. Added bonuses noted in the plans are organized practice rides to complete the climbs over several weekends prior to the event on the 14th/15th of July, 2012. Make sure you get on the e-mail list for more information to be distributed in early May 2012. Included with purchase is a coupon for a Lactate Threshold test with Optimize Endurance Services.

If you would like a custom training plan or to work with a coach, or any other services, such as exercise physiology testing (to determine proper training zones) and metabolic testing, contact us for special rates for Triple Bypass participants.

To help you decide which plan works for you please answer these questions:
Setting annual training hours is one of the most critical decisions you make about training and will help make a realistic choice on which training plan best fits your schedule. To help you determine annual training hours- Add up your hours you have trained in the previous twelve months. Now divide this number by 52 to get your average weekly hours. The number of hours you train in the coming season – including swimming, cycling, running, weights and cross-training – determines your training work load. This workload should be 10-15% higher if the Triple Bypass is your longest event to date.

Do I have a minimum average of 3 hours per week of cycling to maximum average of 8 hours over the last four weeks prior to starting this plan?
