My 21 Day Time Trial Training Program (How fast can I get in 3 weeks)

On borrowed a Time Trial bike, I see how fast I can get in 3 weeks. In this cycling training video I walk you through the 3 week training program I used and how it changed my Time Trial ability. I used Zwift a bunch to get the most out of the short cycling training block.
Training for cycling and training just for Time Trials is different. Which going into a stage race I need to still keep solid fitness for the road bike, while improving my ability to ride in the TT position. So I made the focus primarily on the TT bike but threw in some road workouts as well.
My coach Tony can be found on Instagram @ATP_coahcing if you were interested in training programs. Also, if you havent thought about Zwift, think about it. Zwift is one of the best tools for cycling training.

Very well timed video for me. When I was 18 I used to race and had a top 3 time on a local 10 mile tt. Then I broke my back and had 2 yrs in a wheel chair and 8 years off the bike. I’ve been riding again for 2 years and my fitness is just starting to get good. I’m heading back to where I grew up on Thursday and am going to try and beat my 18 year old self on that same race. Been getting my position dialed in the last few weeks. Really enjoyed the video. Has me more stoked up to go then I already was!

The relative openness of the hips is what affects your power on the TT bike. It is very different between the two types of bike. Could have been your position above the pedals on a bike not fitted to you. You should have a TT saddle which is positioned right below the sitz and really only supports you (boys are way out in front). Recommend the pigeon for TT position. Stretches gluts at the same time. Work your way to laying flat. Works. Pedals by Garmin? Work as designed (poorly). Congrats on the KOM. If you are going uphill, how did that work on the TT? Rocked the 10 miler. Love your videos, keep them coming!

Gj, sounds like time trial has good carry overs for overall fitness. I see some comparisons between your 2 week program and how I train in powerlifting. Just watching these videos is helping me get the lingo, abbreviations, typical racing environments and conditions... all helping me on my road bike journey. I could have had a road bike over 10 years ago but didnt have the 900 bucks cash to buy it, stuck with mountain biking since then, using a hybrid bike now. It sucks but I'll use what I have.

Try watching TV or reading while in an areo position. When I first started tt position, I couldn't do more 20 mins, now I can do 112 miles at 90% tt. Core works helps a lot. As for the balls issue, I don't actually sit on my saddle, I balance my bum on the beak of my time trial saddle... otherwise, after 4 or 5 hours, you can forget about any more kids

Yo Dude, I love the videos you make. I gotta say, you have such a gift in going deep and your numbers are impressive, but I feel like you don't get the results to match? From your racing videos I've seen, you love being active at the front of the race and always seem to be going off the front. I wonder if you conserved yourself better and race smarter, you'd have more results by now? Reminds me of Lance Armstrong's 'It's Not About The Bike'. He mentions wanting to tear the legs off his rivals but that meant he always used to go too early and blow.

T - regarding "ball placement", just continue to tweak that ISM saddle. A tiny tilt angle adjustment can result in a major improvement in comfort! I don't even own a TT bike, but have been demo-ing several of their saddles, and am a true believer in their design concepts. I think it was Phil Gaimon that turned me on to their stuff when he started his video series a couple of years, right after I'd purchased my road bike, and was having comfort issues on the saddle. Give more than one model a shot, and don't be afraid to experiment with setup.

That's when most of the metabolic damage has repaired itself and the real gains kick in. May not have a 5 w/kg FTP, but you feel amazing just living clean. Btw, showing up for races in the van is the shizzz. I couldn't have it any other way!!

@johnfarr5415 5 жыл бұрын

Tyler - Awesome video man. Couple of things I noted. #1 you should have done/should do a FTP test (just do a ramp test bro) in the TT position to determine your correct FTP for that position. As you noted you couldn't hold the prescribed power as the position is so much different. Proper zones is going to allow you to finish those workouts. #2 I'm not so sure that bike is too small. Before you buy anything get a TT fit by someone that does TT fits. Everything I've heard is that the TT bike is generally a size smaller than your normal road frame size. But again...if you're going to drop that money get a fit first and make sure you get the right size and are in the best position to make power and be aero (and are legal in case someone decides the KZfaq hero should have their bike checked). #3 when are you coming to PA to visit your coach? Turns out he lives 2 blocks from me and Erin is on the race team with his GF (trying not to name names here). If you happen to come around Oct 6th my father puts on a hill climb TT I'd LOVE to see you smash. Hell I'll pay your entry.

One TT racer who has been "stalking" me on Strava did 12 miles at an average speed of 25.4 mph at an average power output of 300 watts. The very next day I beat his KOM with an average speed of 26.8 mph, but that was on a racing recumbent. I doubt I could have averaged even 23 mph on a TT bike.

Are these time trials particularly hilly? Don’t get me wrong, you are a great rider. But 330W on a TT bike for a flat 10mile effort should result in more than 27mph. Even in the windiest conditions, I get to 27mph at around 290W (as a very tall rider), even with quite some elevation gain... you might want to get a proper bike fit, because then you would be smashing it!
