If you want to get more out of your cycling, whether its just so you can ride faster or you can complete that 100-mile sportive in a quicker time, a training plan can work wonders, providing a structured approach to get the most out of your available riding time.

Training Plans for Cyclists is written by cycling coach Gale Bernhardt and provides 16 high-quality training plans to prepare riders for the most popular rides cycling has to offer. With Training Plans for Cyclists, road cyclists can tune up for distance rides and endurance events, three day and one week tours, or enjoy building base fitness with a structured plan.

Bernhardt explains how training works, how hard each workout should be, how to fuel, and how to ensure comfortable riding. Bernhardt states each plan’s goal and profiles the rider it’s designed for. Each training programme includes easy guidelines to help cyclists meet their goals even while accommodating busy schedules.
