I love the Coach. Funny, I have been doing this for years. Basically, ride when I can, riding multiple days in a row, because there are often a few days in a row I know can’t ride due to weather, work or family obligations. I have been doing this for 25+ years.

I think I may purchase this in the near future. Thank you for bringing a more affordable coaching option to the people. One thing I did want to mention is what I was thinking about for some time was sweet spot for the offseason or base and than polarized I got closer to my in season

This is very useful. Thank you!

Very well done, thank you!

Wonderful content and tools! thanks much!

Great video and very useful

I will soon purchase this.

Hi Alex, just on board with your site, great content. I like to offer my experience of reverse polarisation, Ive been racing for 30 years, but last 3 years opted out of the tradition winter miles model (I'm to old to get cold these days) I focus on tempo then threshold (only 6 hours per week) and come in early at a decent level. When it gets warmer I put a small block of bigger miles / lower intensity rides in, and drop the high end stuff- i've been PBing now for the past 3 seasons, and managed a super big 12hour. All this leads me to question of the viability of the traditional polarised model on limited hours, I know it has worked for me with 12/15 hours time, but am certain that limited time a reverse polarised model works best for me, interested in your thoughts of if a reverse model is better suited to time crunched rider, or visa versa ?

Thanks!

let say I need and do 10 hrs training a week, but I do commute by a bike ( around 30 mnt a day mostly z1). Is it should be included in " the 10 hrs training " by reducing the actual training time?

Hey @Fastfitnesstips I have infinite time leading up to my next event in October 20th. I plan to go to north vietnam for a month and live at 7000 feet elevation for a month prior. What should I do for my training? My current plan is to just up my KJ/week load by 10% per week until my FTP is 390 and I weigh 65kg. We'll see how it works. I'll train hard for 2 weeks while living at high altitutde then taper for two weeks before the event.

Great stuff! I have one suggestion: is there any way to incorporate a difference in training time per month? I.e., I might only train 3h a week in December and 10h a week when the weather improves in March?

How should I interpret the monthly numbers in the Intervals % column in the Recommended Annual Plan section (column R in the spreadsheet)? Thanks for your awesome work!

This is amazing! Is it possible to get a copy of this?

It's a shame those plans are so cycling-specific, nice video

how can i change the periodization in the cart?

i can not change the month in that calculator :s I do not have access to modify?
