We currently offer three Time Trial specific plans detailed below.
All are designed to help you reach peak fitness on the day of your target event.
Written by 7 x winner of the National 10mile time trial Championships and 6 x winner of the National 25mile time trial Championships, Julia Shaw.
Speaking from experience short Time Trials really do require specific training to prepare you for your best performance ever.
This doesn’t happen on its own, but requires careful planning plus completion of some key tough sessions at the right time.
So whichever plan you choose, it should give you a head start over the competition.
Please get in touch to get started straight away, or with any questions
All plans are available via Today’s Plan (or Training Peaks in the near future).
