ROUVY designed the Puncheur's Plan to help you improve on short, steep climbs by building your anaerobic capacity to enable you to fight fatigue on undulating terrain. After just four weeks of workouts, you can become a stronger puncheur!
CLIMB HILLS FASTER WITH THE ‘PUNCHEUR'S’ TRAINING PLAN ON ROUVY
The 4-week Puncheur's Plan on the ROUVY indoor cycling app is an easy-to-follow, 4-week training plan designed to give you the explosive strength, agility and endurance you need to climb hills faster. Are you ready to become a better cyclist?
WEEK #1
In Week 1, we’ll start building your ability to handle frequently changing or repeatedly escalating tempos at high intensities.
WEEK # 2
Week 2 is a lot like Week 1, but a bit more intense. It’s part of the plan to make you a stronger, more explosive cyclist.
WEEK #3
Now let’s turn up the heat with extra sprints, a VO2 Max test, and a workout to get your legs spinning from heavy intervals.
WEEK #4
To round out this cycling training plan, let’s do some anaerobic threshold and tempo workouts. Keep going, puncheur!
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.

CYCLING TRAINING TIPS FROM THE ROUVY TEAM
Understanding FTP and the Anaerobic Threshold
Every moderately advanced cyclist has probably encountered the terms FTP or anaerobic threshold (AT). If they haven't already, they are likely to receive a question from another cyclist in the near future: "What's your FTP?" or read about their favourite athlete undergoing threshold or FTP training. These two parameters appear frequently in the vocabulary of endurance athletes, yet they are often insufficiently understood. If you ask your cycling buddy why they apply intervals at the FTP or AT level, they might not be able to answer. In this article, I will try to explain these two concepts in understandable terms and from a sports science perspective.
Training for improving the magic VO2 max number
Everyone's buzzed about that magic number: VO2 max. Athletes globally flaunt and compare this metric. VO2 max reigns supreme in the endurance sports realm. But what's the 'perfect' VO2 max value for endurance pursuits? And, of course, how can you boost your VO2 max? Dive into today's article, and I'll shed some light on these questions.
Improve your cycling performance with these 10 strength exercises
Have you ever wondered how come 100-meter sprinters are so jacked? It's hard to believe anyone can build so much muscle by sprinting for 10 seconds, right? Well, here’s a little secret. Most of that muscle and strength are a result of rigorous sessions at the gym. The same goes for skiers, tennis players, and all other top athletes.
