TrainingPeaks WKO+ TSB Graph[dc]I[/dc]f you're looking to improve your cycling, there are plenty of ways to go about it.  You can hire a coach to help you work through your weaknesses.  If you're the self-motivated type or you just aren't ready for a coach, you can always look for a training plan to help structure your workouts.

My new modular training plan may be the solution for those who want structure without being held accountable.  Working with the packed schedules and limited training time most people have nowadays, minimizing junk miles and maximizing returns, I designed these modules to focus your training efforts into a concise plan.  Gone are the days of trying to figure out where to place workouts and how long and hard to ride.  With all the workouts based on TSS and with room left for you to hit the weekly group ride or Tuesday Night Worlds, my modular system is designed to be effective and ultimately flexible.

Since this week's podcast coincides with the "official" release of my modular system, I'll discuss the specific modules themselves along with topics such as:

  • Battenkill plan updates (people gained HOW MUCH?)
  • Questions from customers/listeners about group rides and training hours
  • Training module descriptions
  • Building a plan using modules
  • Listening to your body and avoiding over training
  • The importance of rest days and weeks

As always, leave your feedback and questions either here or on Facebook and I'll do my best to answer them.
