Description
Epic Winter Base FTP/Power Threshold Foundation 12 Weeks Advanced is a 12 week plan designed for the Cyclist or Triathlete who trains with power, HR (Heart Rate), or RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and can train 8:15-17:15 hours per week (excluding Rest Weeks). You will need to be able to devote between 4:30-8:30 hours to training on your weekends.
My winter plans are designed to make the following season even better than ever. There is a 12 week weight training plan that I designed specifically for endurance cyclists which will improve your overall strength and balance muscle groups, but limit any muscular weight gain. These workouts can be used indoors on your trainer and are designed to ensure you continue to improve your overall fitness, without peaking in January!
Winter is where your season is “made”, so it’s absolutely critical that you train this winter and plan for next year.
Designed and written by Hunter Allen, former pro cyclist, co-Founder of Training Peaks and WKO, co-author of Training and Racing with a Power Meter and Cutting-Edge Cycling and Founder and CEO of Peaks Coaching Group. The Workouts included in these pioneering and ruthlessly vetted Training Plans are the same Workouts that Hunter uses with his own Clients. Battle tested and podium approved.

EPIC 12 WEEK WINTER PLAN
Not having followed a proper training plan in the prior 5 years or so, I first used the Epic 12 Winter plan for advanced riders during the winter 2013-2014. Astounding results. Strength and plyometrics training built core and foundation for training. The strength building was incorporated into on the bike training and for the first time in many years, I had a very effective sprint.
The “on the bike” sessions and strength training are balanced with each other and periodized, ensuring that one does not become overtrained. This is important as I am turning 58 years of age.
Used plan again 2014-2015 and found myself comparable to age group 30 at provincial MTB championships. Was still strong and motivated through summer and into September. Recommended.
