In January I will finish up my 12 week trainingpeaks base plan, one of the Hunter Allen plans and will be looking to start build. Can anyone recommend one of the plans? I have a powermeter so it should be power based and this is for bike racing only. I want to do between 9- 12 hours a week
The build should be specific to the type or bike races and overall duration you’ll be competing in. Remember, the base is more general, the build is more specific. Ideally your trying to improve your weaknesses in the base and in the build you’ll continue to develop your strengths. Will you try and break away? Win field sprint, win a longer sprint to the line? Are you a climber? It will determine what power levels, and therefore which energy systems you should focus on more. Also, during your build, you should be doing some less important races.
