What Should I Do After Completing the 7-Day Cycling Plan?

Question

I have been following the program where I ride the bike for 7 days, any recommendations as to what I should do next to advance?

Answer 1

After every 2 to 3 cycles of the Seven Day Cycling Training Plan, you should not only focus on a week cycle but extend the plan to a month during which the workout continually increases over time. This can also assist in avoiding plateaus and sustained development in one’s cycling performance. It may also be beneficial to seek other training manuals or other video clips which will assist you in planning your workouts for a longer period.

Great content Tristan and John. Really informative. Looking forward to the monthly training plan. Also, it would be helpful if you guys could do something around event-specific training plans. Like if I have an event 3 months down the line, how to build up, taper, recover, etc. Amazing work by you both; helps save a lot of money on paid training plans

Mate, we need monthly and yearly training plan as an average joe who wants to be a better cyclist, love to see this content brotha!

Great content, guys! Would it be right or wrong to say that you should probably have some good base work down before hitting a week like this? I've been doing base and technique work on the bike since maybe early October, and am just now getting into some threshold and higher workouts, surrounded by the recovery and endurance rides, as your week lays out. Should we have that 6-8 weeks of base training in before this? I would assume we should.

I'm 63 and from August this year I will be racing a crit most weekends.  It would be great to know what training to do around that.

Thanks for the content. I am 61 years old. I have been cycling intermittently for 4 years to stay healthy and lose weight. I train on flat 40-kilometer tracks at least 4 days a week. But I have a really serious problem. Unfortunately, I cannot go uphill. I have 2 bikes. One is a road bike and the other is a hybrid-touring bike. On the same route, the average speed of the road bike is 22 km/h, and the touring bike is 15-17 km/h. But in both cases, my legs hurt a lot on the hill and I have to rest. What would you recommend to increase my hill performance? I wish you good luck.

I'm doing the Tour of Flanders the 30th of march and was wondering if this type of training plan would be good for that type of ride. Currently I'm doing strength training (gym), endurance rides, low cadence  and once a week some intervals on the bike. I got exams coming up so (starting in 2 weeks) won't be able to train really till begin February. During exams I will try to do min. 1 Z2 ride a week and probably strength training and some running/swimming. After the exams, I've got around 6 weeks till the Tour of Flanders so the plan would be to follow this training week for around 6 weeks. Opinion?

What would the progression be for week 2.. longer durations or more reps?
