This comprehensive training plan is designed to give cyclists the know-how a professional sprinter would receive. Over four weeks on ROUVY, you'll engage in targeted cycling workouts to enhance your sprinting skills and build your strength.
INDOOR CYCLING TRAINING PLAN: HOW TO BE A FASTER SPRINTER
Michael Kolář, a coach and former pro cyclist, put together this demanding training plan for sprinters to help them increase their strength, speed and pedalling efficiency in just four weeks on the ROUVY indoor cycling app.
ABOUT Michael Kolář
Meet Michael Kolář, a professional sprinter and the lead-out man for none other than Peter Sagan. His journey is inspiring, starting from their youth category days and culminating in riding for the same world tour team, Tinkoff Saxo or Bora-Hansgrohe. Michael played a pivotal role in Peter's sprint in Doha in 2016, contributing to Peter's second world championship title. Now, as an ex-pro and coach, Michael is dedicated to helping younger riders.
WEEK #1
To start, we’ll activate your muscles with a few sprint workouts, then do a workout that will test all your performance zones.
WEEK #2
In week two of the Sprinter’s Plan, you'll develop your power output by alternating between low and high cadence.
WEEK #3
In Week 3, we’ll continue to develop strength. To finish: Some high-intensity work in the anaerobic zone. Let’s go!
WEEK #4
And finally, two sprint workouts with max explosiveness, and some fast-cadence work to take your speed to new levels!
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.
