Cycling Training Plans & Training Tips

Each one has been excellent in terms of the progressive plan itself but also in terms of the reading that comes with it. I have gradually improved technique and fitness for sure, but I have also learned a lot and that is an important part of the journey for me. Phil's plans have enough variety to be interesting and yet enough commonality for progressions to be seen and felt. In addition, Phil is open to the occasional bit of more personal communication which I have tried not to abuse, but whether on social media or email you get a real sense that Phil is in your corner. He has not simply written generic plans and sat back to count the cash - I get a strong sense that he cares for athletes following his plans and has a genuine desire to see them be successful - whatever that looks like to them. I have recommended Phil's plans to other triathletes who have all reported equally positive experiences. Phil is my first port of call for a plan and the person I would recommend first to others.

I've used a number of different plans over the years from training peaks and found yours to be the best I've seen. Simple to understand but comprehensive in execution. I appreciated the explanation and understanding provided as to the purpose of the workout and what we are trying to achieve. Web links also very helpful for the old amateur. I used your 6 week advance training plan between 70.3's and shaved 15 mins off the time despite the fact I wasted 10 days drinking beer all day on a tropical island in Indonesia! Will look into a longer plan for next year.
I would recommend you to anyone. less - 5 months ago

I've now smashed my race season goals, already getting the Sub 5hr 70.3 and even got the percentage I needed to attempt qualification for the ITU European Championships. - I'm in top form and looking forward to my A race of IM Vichy later this year! less - 3 months ago

I enjoyed and benefited from how specific they are regarding zones and not just “5hours zone 2” as I’ve seen on other plans before. less - 3 months ago

I have been on a training plan for the last year with exceptional results , I’m not new to the sport 16 years and now in the masters category. The training plan gives me a more balanced life and no niggles !!! In the last year I have won every race I entered, feeling fresh and have a stronger endurance speed base . At 64 im racing as I did in my 40’s . So thanks Phil , I'm looking forward to my next race ! Jan less - 3 months ago

I had a great race, same time I did 4 years ago but faster run this time, being 64 next week and running sub 24 for 5k off the bike is a wow for me. I am feeling great. I have completed four races with three wins and one 2nd! Very happy! Loving the program. less - 5 months ago
