ANDY SCHLECK’S GET FITTER training plan FOR BEGINNER CYCLISTS

Andy Schleck’s Get Fitter Plan on the ROUVY indoor cycling app is the perfect way for beginner cyclists to improve their fitness and performance, step by step.

6-WEEK BEGINNERS TRAINING PLAN BY PRO CYCLIST ANDY SCHLECK

Andy Schleck's Get Fitter training plan includes carefully timed sessions to ensure balanced development and recovery. This 6-week plan offers a comprehensive approach to becoming a better cyclist under the guidance of a Tour de France champion.

ABOUT ANDY SCHLECK

Belgian cyclist Andy Schleck – who won the Tour de France in 2010, and was runner-up in 2009 and 2011 – was known throughout his years as a pro for his climbing prowess and strategic acumen. Following retirement in 2014 due to injury, he transitioned into a career as a cycling commentator.

WEEK #1

You’ll start Week 1 with a “threshold workout” to begin increasing your FTP, followed by some low-intensity endurance work.

WEEK #2

Learn to overcome different slopes at the same cadence, and then focus on activating fast-twitch muscle fibres.

WEEK #3

Let’s “HIIT it” with some high-intensity interval training, followed by a few short sprints to improve your finishing speed.

WEEK #4

Let’s do a workout to boost your sprinting/starting skills, then some intervals that mimic the demands of road bike races.

WEEK #5

Week 5 – also known as the “New-You-In-The-Making Week” – consists of tempo intervals and criss-cross intervals. Let’s do it!

WEEK #6

And finally, as we near the finish line, a threshold workout to push your FTP, and fast-paced criterium workout.

AFTER THE TRAINING PLAN: WHAT’S NEXT?

After completing this training plan, it's crucial to give your body the rest it needs. Enjoy a week of easy riding – either outdoors or on the ROUVY indoor cycling app – in zones 1 and 2, maintaining a steady cadence of 90 RPM. Remember, rest is just as important as training. Ignoring rest and recovery can lead to overtraining, so prioritize it.
