- Viewers have asked for a preseason cycling training plan so here it is! This is the basic build or template I do for my athletes. When this templet is applied with my cycling workout videos, you'll have a solid idea where to start with your training. It is a 3 month training plan designed to help you come out on good forum to start your racing season. With my athlete's, we will actually go much more in depth and use some workouts designed just for them. If you want that kind of coaching, information below.
If you are interested in getting a cycling coach, head over to my coaching website and drop me a message or leave a comment below.

3 weeks into coaching with Chaz and the “polarized method”... I can say 100%, I have less fatigue and more fitness from training this way over the conventional 3-week on 1-week off method. I’m honestly kind of surprised how well this works.
Chaz... Your the man! Good video.
Superb content as alway Chaz
Really nice tips. Thanx Champ Chaz!
Great! You deserve more subs.
Keep sharing the content appreciate the support.
Thanks for consistently putting out informative videos, they are great
Great video.
aight. so im just gonna list the workout on my post it and stick it to my toptube. and since i have no powermeter im just gonna compute my power output. Thanks for this!
That works!
Solid content
Hi Chaz, great video and thanks a lot for the tips. How would you insert 2 gym training sessions per week in this plan? Thx!
I would do them before the workout. So on a workout day.
Good video!, what would you change for the build phase? same number of session per week? continue with only two hard workout per week but more vo2max rather than ss/threshold?
Do you have mark prep vidio?
Should i progress during the first month of SS ? Or stick to 2 x 25min two times per week ? Thanks for that great video !
Hit my big big goal last yr. burnt up end of last yr and took 2mo off (actually tried to run for 1st time). Been back but no intensity yet (that is weight training right now). Tryin to hold back from that ‘middle zone 2’ and stay below 77% of my diminished threshold value. Action starts late Apr/May. However having trouble finding purpose. Quite conflicted perhaps even a bit depressed or lost. Getting back to intensity and not quite knowing what i am doin it for. Ugh. Keep up the good work. -U10
Honestly, I’d love to talk about the possibility of being your coach. You should never burn out so much you walk away from the sport for 2 months. Let me know if you’re interested.
Hang in there U10. I've been in a similar spot before. Develop a new focus and keep grinding
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! In which day of the week do you retest the ftp?
That is up to you. I’d usually do it later in the week so you have some time get rest up and get fresh.
Could it be that the playlist is shorter than when you filmed this? Not many different endurance rides on there if I'm not mistaken?
Good stuff, cheap. I thought polarized training meant following a 3 zone scheme where zone 2 is deemphasized and the focus is more on Vo2max workouts (zone 3) with recovery days (zone 1).
This is kind of a polarized hybrid.
@@ChazTurmon cool, I've been watching your videos and am going to give your plan a go
That’s awesome. Let me k ow how the first month goes.
@@ChazTurmon will do. just saw from your Strava profile you are also a youth pastor. that's really awesome! I live and ride out in NoCo with Ben Miller.
Oh nice! That’s great riding out there.
Nice video. I was asking myself exactly that question.
Can I ask what you think about the training I did until now?
Monday: active recovery,
Tuesday: day off
Wednesday: sweet spot
Thursday: 30-1hr Zwift race or something similar
Friday: active recovery or easy endurance
Saturday: Big ride 4-7 hours with all kinds of efforts like 30-45 min climbs and short 10 min climbs
Sunday: endurance or alternative sports like hiking
Every 4-5 weeks I do a few easy days when I feel the need.
Overall between 12-15 hours per week and got quiet fit like this last year, but I want to improve.
It's a solid start. I would maybe change the zwift race o a zwift group ride. You may see more gains in training. Other than that, it's a god start. If interested in coaching, I'd love to talk about that as well and share some more insight.
@@ChazTurmon Thank you for your fast answer! Yes I thought that I might get to much intensity in sometimes. Will try it.
For coaching sadly now I cannot spend the money. In a few month I will get a new job and maybe I come back to it then.
Hy Chaz, nice channel. Just one question. You don't make any sst, threshold or vo2max as "booster sessions" every 10 days ? For exemple in the sst month you don't switch one of the sst session by a vo2max session in one of the week, just for your body to not forget vo2max ? And the same during vo2max month, switching one of the vo2max session by a ftp or sst... ? (sorry for my average english, I'm french)
Great question! Honestly, it is just a template. If you stick to it, you will have a solid start to your season. Some of those Vo2 workouts are a mix of sweet spot and Vo2. But you can always add in a day of sst if you wanted or change things around.
Coach how do i do sweet spot training without hr or power meter?
Honestly it’s not possible. You need some sort of metrics to give you and idea of how hard you are going.
We also have a prac crits here in my area but i idk where to put it in my week cause i do 2 intervals in a week. Do you have any tip or advice?
If you want one of the best workouts possible, do intervals before the practice Crit.
Hi Chaz, right after this plan is A priority race or some B races and build phase?
Yes. This will get you to a relatively good fitness. Think getting on form. The next phase would be maintaining fitness while still building some anaerobic power to really build up your available matches. I do this plan heading into the start of the season and then usually switch into a phase that has much more concentrated V02Max work and short hard intervals for anaerobic power. This plan above gets me to a good place in order to keep adding of training stress without overtraining and burning out.
@@ChazTurmon Ok, I thought it. Thank you very much
I take Saturdays off. Any problem switching Fridays and Saturdays?
You can change it up as needed. Maybe start your week on Sunday and just slide everything up a day or two.
is polarized training better than zwift spot
Do you mean sweet spot?
Chaz Turmon sorry yes
TTE sounds miserable 😵
