The Cycling Foundations Program

Cycling Foundations

The Cycling Foundations program revolves around mastering the six key elements of THE SYSTEM, ensuring that your training is comprehensive and balanced.

Training Elements:

Endurance training helps to improve stamina and the body’s ability to sustain prolonged effort.

The How:

  • Long, steady rides
  • Focus on maintaining a moderate pace
  • Build aerobic capacity over time

Cadence control is all about finding the optimal pedaling rate to maximize efficiency and power.

The How:

  • Work on pedaling smoothly at higher RPMs
  • Use cadence drills to improve muscle memory
  • Find the balance between speed and power output

Tempo/Force Development combines steady pacing with power application, critical for sustained efforts in races.

The How:

  • Perform intervals at a higher intensity
  • Develop strength through hill climbs and force-based efforts
  • Increase time spent at tempo to build endurance and power

Threshold and lactate clearance improve the body’s ability to process and remove lactate during intense efforts.

The How:

  • Interval training at lactate threshold
  • Increase intensity to improve the body’s tolerance to lactic acid
  • Train just below and just above threshold zones

Speed endurance helps cyclists maintain high velocities over longer periods, developing overall speed capacity.

The How:

  • Short, fast intervals with minimal rest
  • Gradually increase time spent at maximum speed
  • Focus on holding high speeds for extended durations

Power generation focuses on the rider’s ability to produce force, especially during high-output efforts.

The How:

  • Sprint intervals and short bursts
  • Work on explosive starts and maximum efforts
  • Develop muscle strength and fast-twitch fiber activation
