About this plan

The whole plan points at one thing: The Gralloch. Across 17 weeks and roughly 8.5 hours a week, it builds you toward a long, hard day on the bike with nothing in there that does not earn its place.

Three weeks up, ease back, repeat: that rhythm is what makes the fitness stick. Intensity is rationed rather than sprayed around, every target reads off your own FTP and threshold power, and the plan gives your endurance, your climbing and the way you put the power down the attention each one needs.

Follow it properly and the aim is clear: get you across the line in good shape at The Gralloch.
