WEEK #1
The workouts in this first week were designed to activate your muscles and help build your aerobic capacity. Let’s go!

WEEK #3
Let’s do some work on your VO2 Max and FTP (functional threshold power), followed by a “Mountain Strength” workout.
WEEK #4
To close things out, we’ll do a “Threshold on the Move” workout to build your FTP, and then a race simulation. Keep going!
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
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.
