The Base Training Cycling Plan
What is The Base Training Cycling Plan?
The base training cycling plan, developed in partnership with Veloptima and InPursuit Coaching, is 12 weeks long and provides 3-5 weekly indoor smart bike sessions to help you build the perfect cycling training foundation during off periods.
Contradicting the traditional thought ofwinter cycling trainingmeaning long and steady miles in the saddle, the base cycling training plan incorporates more intense sessions focussing on strength and maximal power. This helps build your fitness and creates a platform on which to base event-specific training, ready for the spring and early summer season.

Off-Feet Conditioning: Why the Bike Is a Game-Changer for Hybrid Racing
Hybrid racing events likeHYROX demand more than strong run splits - they require a powerful aerobic engine that can sustain output across repeated strength stations. For many athletes, especially those from a strength background, running becomes the limiting factor due to joint stress and recovery demands. Structured off-feet conditioning offers a smarter solution. Through controlled bike training, athletes can build aerobic capacity, target key intensity zones and increase conditioning volume without added impact. That’s whyWattbike andThe Hybrid Racer are helping hybrid competitors train with greater intent, durability and long-term progression.

Why Benchmarking Matters
Ever wonder why some athletes make rapid gains while others plateau? The secret isn’t just hard work, it’s benchmarking. Without knowing your starting point, training can be guesswork. The right test, from an FTP or ramp test for endurance to short maximal efforts for power, gives you the data to train smarter, not harder. Benchmarking transforms every session into a targeted, purposeful workout, accelerates progress, and ensures recovery is effective. Plus, regular re-testing keeps your training in sync with your improving fitness, so you stay ahead of stagnation and build sustainable, long-term performance. Discover how to train with clarity, confidence, and measurable results.
