WEEK 1 – BLOCK 2: Building Endurance & Power

This opening week focuses on developing your cycling endurance, tempo efficiency, and sweet-spot power. The sessions are structured to help you improve your ability to sustain effort over time, building strength and fitness progressively.

WEEK 2 – BLOCK 2: Sharpening Power & Building Endurance

This week is a step up from last, introducing sharper intervals and sustained efforts to improve both your power output and endurance. The combination of high-intensity bursts and controlled efforts will help you handle a wide range of cycling demands, whether it’s holding pace or attacking a climb.

WEEK 3 – BLOCK 2: Precision & Power Development

Week 3 is about refining your ability to produce controlled power across different intensities. The workouts combine short bursts of intensity, sustained tempo efforts, and progressive endurance intervals. Together, these sessions enhance your aerobic strength, top-end power, and ability to sustain effort.

WEEK 4 – BLOCK 2: Power Peaks & Tempo Foundations (deload week)

In this final week, the focus shifts to sharpening your top-end power and reinforcing your ability to recover quickly between high-intensity efforts. The workouts challenge your ability to sustain steady efforts while incorporating short bursts of explosive power to mimic the demands of racing or interval training.

AFTER BLOCK 2, WHAT’S NEXT?

Each of these training blocks were designed to build upon the last, which will enable you to transition seamlessly from Block 2 to Block 3 without a pause. Completing all three blocks in succession will ensure you’re prepared to take on the challenge of a middle-distance triathlon.
Block 3 will be released on March 10, 2025.
