Velo Performance 16-Week Inferno Event Training Plan

16-Week Training Plan

This 16-week plan focuses on building your power, Vo2, and low-cadence climbing midweek with a progression of steady aerobic volume and fatigue resistance tempo efforts on some longer rides at the weekends in the first 10 weeks.

Week 11 and week 13 are big volume weeks with a focus on fatigue resistance tempo efforts on some longer rides. After this, you start to taper for maximum adaption going into your Inferno event.

I have written the plan for inside and outside training that gives you options depending on the weather. You will need a smart turbo trainer or power meter.

Strength training:

I have included a Dumb Bell Strength plan. You can perform this at home or in the gym. I have not planned this in the plan in Training Peaks. My advice is to perform strength training a couple of times each week evenly spaced apart and after your bike sessions. (Links to download the strength plan are in the Training Peaks plan)

BONUS NUTRITION

Also included is an informative nutrition video series with supporting emails plus PDFs to keep you right with your nutrition to help you fuel training correctly and understand carbohydrate intake for training and event preparation. These are evidence-based, factual recommendations from my nutritional studies.
