Annual Training Plan Blueprint
Hi!
I've been cycling for 3 years now, this year was so far the greatest in terms of power/mileage/how I feel on bike etc. I've done 3 months of base (low cadence/tempo and time accumulation with 13-16h weeks, SST), 2 months of build (vo2/over unders), and just finished my post-build FTP test with new PB's!
What should I do next this year? All I do is ride for fun and race MyWhoosh sometimes, honestly I just like structured training and getting shit done.
Should I go Joe Friel and transition, another base, another build, or maybe I could somehow maintain this fitness and have fun for the rest of the year (tbh I would like that after 3 years of poor wattage and structure everywhere, but I love to progress as well as everyone)? How do I maintain it?
I train 10-12h/w with 2 days of intense work. I thought of maybe doing 1x vo2 and 1x treshold workout with like 70% of my TTE (and just lower TiZ for vo2 than in a build phase) with recovery every 4th week till winter comes. Idk if that's the way or not.
Thanks for your input
