CIS Training Systems • Iconic Race Day Vault

COURSE-TUNED EXECUTION.

Four iconic circuits. Four demand signatures. One execution system. The Iconic Race Day Vault turns four historic course blueprints (Prospect Park, Central Park, Harlem, and Somerville) into a complete execution system—built to expose weakness, sharpen decision-making under fatigue, and produce course-proof fitness with race-proof results.

  • Iconic Course History — Northeast Legends Collection
  • Race Day Sprint Setup — One Shift Mastery Calculator
  • Performance Intel — The Execution Model

Includes four separate 8-week programs. Run the course that matches your next event—keep the other three as your season library.

Vault Expansion Packs (Add-Ons): Branch Brook, Plainfield, Grant’s Tomb, and other race icons will be released as optional add-ons at $199.95 each.

What You Get

The Iconic Race Day Vault includes four separate 8-week programs, each engineered to a distinct demand signature. NYC/NJ on the surface, universal in application: plug the execution into almost any course situation.

  • Prospect Park: Brooklyn Battle Pass — climb-tax repeatability + positioning surges
  • Central Park: Manhattan Pressure Cooker — sustained pressure + long composure blocks
  • Harlem: Uptown Accelerator — accelerate-regroup rhythm + tight recoveries
  • Somerville: Crit Clockwork — speed endurance + surge capacity (12-unique edition + race simulation)
Cadence is the control system. Execution is the weapon.
Cadence targets are embedded in every workout. Recovery is disciplined and intentionally structured to preserve your matchbook.

Bonus Tools + Proof

CIS proven results — Cesar Marte wins Tour of 79th Somerville
Cesar Marte wins Tour of 79th Somerville — America’s longest running bike race.
  • Race Day Sprint Setup: One Shift Mastery Calculator
  • Performance Intel: The Execution Model (knowledge hub)
  • Proven results: CIS athletes have won Harlem, Prospect, Somerville, and Central Park; Prospect sprint credibility includes Sprint Jersey Series Winner Rob Wing.

How to deploy: choose the demand signature that matches your next target race, run it for 8 weeks, then rotate—your season stays sharp without guesswork.

How the Week Runs

This is the Vault rhythm—built for consistency, execution, and fatigue-proof decision making.

Day Session
Mon Day Off
Tue Course-Tuned Vault workout (course-specific)
Wed Course-Tuned Vault workout (course-specific)
Thu CIS → Sprinting Odyssey Program (weekly progression)
Fri Recovery / Endurance Ride (~40 minutes)
Sat CIS → Sprint Odyssey: Control the Chaos (Level 1 • 2–3 hours)
Sun CIS → Endurance Odyssey: Conquer the Distance (2–3.5 hours)
Mon
Day Off
Tue
Course-Tuned Vault workout (course-specific)
Wed
Course-Tuned Vault workout (course-specific)
Thu
CIS → Sprinting Odyssey Program (weekly progression)
Fri
Recovery / Endurance Ride (~40 minutes)
Sat
CIS → Sprint Odyssey: Control the Chaos (Level 1 • 2–3 hours)
Sun
CIS → Endurance Odyssey: Conquer the Distance (2–3.5 hours)
Intensity Governor:
Most weeks are built around two key execution days (Tue/Wed). Thu/Sat/Sun scale by season, fatigue, and race calendar—swap to endurance/recovery when needed to keep the matchbook intact.

Why This Works Everywhere

  • Each course represents a universal race demand signature.
  • Workouts are execution blocks you can apply to most routes and calendars.
  • Two circuits exist on Zwift (Central + Prospect), letting athletes train environment-matched execution indoors.

The 4 Programs in the Vault

Each program is different by design—unique interval density, work:rest ratios, and signature simulations aligned to the course’s demand profile.

Prospect Park: Brooklyn Battle Pass

Built for climb-tax repeatability, surge cost, and late-lap execution discipline.

Signature: Battle Pass Simulation
Pressure → snap → settle → climb-tax → recover (repeat)
Signature: 60/30 Brooklyn Surge Blocks
The “cover + reset” pattern trained directly
Signature: Threshold Repeatability
Repeatable pressure without drifting into debt
Central Park: Manhattan Pressure Cooker

Built for sustained pressure, composure, and selective surges that don’t break your execution.

Signature: Pressure Cooker Simulation
Sustained loops + periodic surges + long drag effort
Signature: 2×20 Threshold Flush
Long-duration control at cadence discipline
Signature: Pressure Durability Block
Extended pressure with timed surges
Harlem: Uptown Accelerator

Built for accelerate-regroup-accelerate racing: high snap frequency with tight recoveries.

Signature: Uptown Accelerator Simulation
Snap → pressure → reset repeated at high frequency
Signature: 20/20 Density
High-frequency changes without torque panic
Signature: 30/15 Surges
Tight relief that trains elastic repeatability
Somerville: Crit Clockwork (12-Unique Edition)

Built for pure crit demands: speed endurance + surge capacity, plus a full race simulation.

Signature: Crit Clockwork Race Simulation
Density + surges + finish sequence in one session
Signature: Snap-to-Settle 20/40
Snap then hold speed—no soft pedal
Signature: Leadout-Sprint-Settle
Finish specificity: leadout speed, sprint, then hold

FAQ

Do I need to live in NYC/NJ to use this?

No. The Vault uses iconic circuits as the proving ground, but the demand signatures are universal. You can apply the execution blocks to most races and routes.

Will more courses be added to the Vault?

Yes. Branch Brook, Plainfield, Grant’s Tomb, and other race icons will be released as optional Vault Expansion Packs at $199.95 each. Each add-on follows the same demand-signature standard and plugs into your season the same way: run it for 8 weeks, then rotate.

Can the Vault be my entire training plan? Do I need other workouts?

Yes—by design. For most crit-focused athletes, no. Each Vault program is a complete 8-week execution block (progression, cadence targets, work:rest density, recovery, and finish specificity) built to be plug-and-play. Follow it as written and you’re not hunting workouts—you’re running a system. It’s not just good—it’s built to remove guesswork.

How is this delivered?

Delivered as complete plans in TrainingPeaks—you’re applying a full program, not importing workout files.

How do I use the Vault across a season?

Pick the course that matches your next target race and run it for 8 weeks. Then rotate to the next demand signature as your calendar changes. The Vault becomes your seasonal execution library.

What makes it “course tuned”?

The internals differ by course: interval durations, work:rest density, cadence emphasis, and signature simulations—so athletes feel the course demands in training.

What cadence rules do you require?

Cadence targets are embedded and aligned to CIS cadence bands. Recovery is disciplined and intentionally structured to preserve your matchbook.

Four iconic circuits. Four demand signatures. One repeatable execution library.
