Sweet Spot Part 1: Build Your Base

• Boost Your Base
• Increase aerobic fitness and power output
• Perfect continuation from Sweet Spot part 1
  

Build your base even bigger with our second six week training block of Sweet Spot and advanced aerobic training! Continue to work on increasing your threshold in about an hour a day during the week and 1 - 3 hours on the weekends. This plan begins with a 20-minute Field Test to set your wattage and heart rate training zones including Sweet Spot using the included FasCat Wattage and Heart Rate Zones Sheet! Then you'll test again at the end to see the fruits of your labors of a 5-20% boost in your FTP!

• The transition from base to race
• Increase aerobic fitness and power output
• Perfect continuation from Sweet Spot part 2
  

Sweet Spot Training Plan, Part 3 for athletes who are racing soon but still need to build a base/ride more/raise CTL/increase threshold power. This 6-week plan is great to begin after you have completed sweet spot parts 1 and 2 or need to hit turbo with your sweet spot training. When we recorded our "Switch from Base to Race" the Sweet Spot Part 3 plan was exactly what we were talking about.

• Builds a Big Aerobic Base
  
• Complete 4 month Training Plan with 3 Power Tests
• new Professional Level with 18 - 26 hours / week

To begin your sweet spot base training you'll perform a Field Test to set your training zones, especially the all important sweet spot training zone!  A second test half thru your plan will measure your improvement and update your training zones and a third a final test will do the same. Athletes can expect to increase their FTP by 5 – 20%! 

 In the final mesocycle of this plan you'll be doing long sweet spot TSS rides on Saturdays and short structured 'wintertime intensity' during the work week.   Weeks 13, 14, & 15 have the 3 > 4 > 5 minute VO2 Max Interval Progression to push your threshold even higher 🚀💪
