High North Performance
Training Plans
Anaerobic power/capacity plans
These plans target anaerobic power and stamina, resulting in improved power over 20-seconds to 5-minutes, better stamina in supra-threshold efforts, and improved repeatability. Suitable for all disciplines. Recommended for use 0-5 months from target event.
Autumn/Winter plans
Designed to be used 4-12 months out from your first A-priority event or race season these plans help develop all-round aerobic fitness and lay the foundations for better-quality event-specific training when your target events are closer.
Conditioning plans
Specifically designed for cyclists who are new to training or returning to training after an extended break. These plans build foundational fitness in a safe and progressive manner, aiming to get you ready to move onto one of our other plans.
Endurance plans
Specifically targeting your ability to sustain power over durations of 3-5H and upwards, alongside your ability to produce hard efforts after several hours of riding. Suitable for all disciplines and can be used any time in the year.
Threshold plans
Created to bring about improvements in your threshold power (e.g. FTP), these plans should also result in better recovery after hard efforts. Suitable for all disciplines, and can be used any time in the year.
Ultra-Distance plans
These plans build nicely from our endurance plans to work on improved power output and resistance to fatigue over durations of 5-6H and upwards, and over multiple consecutive days. Good preparation for events like sportives, stage races, XCM, long gravel races and ultra-distance events.
VO2max plans
Targeting VO2max, this plan should make you feel more punchy and improve abilities on efforts of 2-15 minutes and capacity to recover after repeated efforts. Suitable for disciplines. Best used 0-5 months from target event/competition.
Autum/Winter Zwift Plans
Designed for the avid indoor racer, these plans will help you get the most from indoor training. A-priority event or race season these plans help develop all-round aerobic fitness and lay the foundations for better-quality event-specific training when your target events are closer.
