Female-First Century Training Plan

About this plan

This plan is built for your 100 mile ride, start to finish. It is shaped around a long, hard day on the bike, running 12 weeks at a solid 8 hours a week, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

Every target is set as a percentage of your own FTP and threshold power, so it fits you and not some average athlete. The weeks climb and then ease in three-week blocks, and across them your endurance, your climbing and the way you put the power down are trained in balance.

Do the work and you get to your 100 mile ride fit, confident and knowing your day is in hand.
