After 18 Week SS

What Training Plan Should I Do?
#1

I feel this question must have been covered somewhere so sorry if this is repetitive.

I just finished the 18 week SS base program and quite enjoyed it. I’m a road cyclist with the goals of more power/speed but I don’t race competitively so no hard date to work towards.

Not that we’re coming into nice weather I’d like to use my 2 weekend days for longer rides (I can generally do ~4 hours each day). During the week 1 hour sessions are ideal.

Is there a program that gives structure for Tuesday- Wednesday but then allows for more free and longer endurance rides on the weekend that would still meet my goals?

Hi @MarkoP - congrats on finishing the 18 weeks of sweet spot.

Tell us how much your FTP increased!

Also if you leave a review on the website you’ll receive a 25% off coupon for your next plan - which I recommend our sweet spot part 4 and then our road intervals.

The part 4 has the 3>4>5 VO2 progression during the week (1 hour) and then longer sweet spot rides with heaps of flexibility on the weekends. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

Have a listen to the podcast and watch the video I recorded about this style of training and the sweet spot part 4 training plan I designed for it!

Super helpful and thanks Frank! I’m actually supposed finish today with my FTP test but pulled my neck badly on the weekend so still debating if I’ll do a light spin today and test tomorrow or just test later today. But I will update and then get going on the SS Polarized 4 plan.
