Crafted by myself, Ray Boardman PGDipSportsMed, PGDipRehab, PGCertSc (Exercise Science), BSc (Anatomy), DipSportsStudies this plan encapsulates my passion for the sport, my experience from completing dozens of cycling events over varying distances and my success coaching hundreds of cyclists & triathletes.

Starting 16 weeks before Your century (you can start any Monday), this plan progresses through phases to build you to your peak performance. Each week contains three rides and a flexibility training session. You will build up to cycling to over five hours in a single session. This programme is Power-based. You will need a power meter to follow this programme.

Prior to using this plan, you should be able to ride non-stop for 60 minutes.

Purchase of this plan gives you access to my fortnightly coaching calls where you can ask me any training or racing-related questions.
