Below is a sample program for Chris Miller. Chris contacted Brian in need of some help in getting back into competitive cycling after taking 2 years off from racing. Chris had been a Category 3 cyclist and needed help figuring how to fit training into his life in addition to a full time job. He can fit training into his schedule 5 days a week and plans to also spend some of these days in the gym. Here is a sample of his schedule.

Comments: Chris, this week we are working on strength as well as endurance. Use your days off to relax and stretch- remember that this is just as important as your workouts. The weight sessions should be done as per your weight program. Great job so far! I will talk to you next week. |
