The SELF-COACHED CYCLIST'S 

Training System & ATP

Become Your Own Best Coach 

Your cycling fitness is important. Cycling is the one physical activity you love and can do all the time. Your brain needs it to think clearly, your body needs it to stay strong, your weight needs it to stay in check, and your loved ones need you to do it so you're not grumpy. Plus it's fun.

The cyclists who are strong over the long term know how to train. They use a tried and true  system that works for them, usually developed over many years. They aren't signing up with apps, purchasing training plans, or winging it and hoping for the best. I'm sharing with you a system that you can use to quickly take your training to a whole new level, for the rest of your cycling career.

What's the cost to you? Mostly just your time and effort. You'll need to study the 90-minutes of free video instructions linked in the download. At some point you'll have an "ah-ha" moment, when you realize the value of what I'm sharing. If you want to incorporate all of this into your training, I offer 7 different training block templates that you can customize (this will make sense once you've watched the videos). They have all the workouts you'll need, and they are positioned correctly so that you can understand the progression. Use them as many times as you'd like for the rest of your cycling years. I recommend puchasing at least 5 of them so that you can understand how your training should progress. You won't need to buy another plan again - you'll understand how getting fit actually works. You'll become your own best coach.

✔ Design your entire season in a few simple steps, and see it all in one view.

✔ Easily plan blocks to assure you're doing the right type of work at the right time, and to assure you peak for your A-priority event.

✔ Adjust weekly ramp rates to assure you're getting the right amount of weekly stress, and see what happens to your CTL over time.

✔ Use in conjunction with analytics software such as TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, intervals.icu, etc. Own your PLAN rather than relying on analytics software to own it! This is how professional cycling coaches do it.

✔ Record power PR's adjacent to calendar so you can track progress, and understand what type of training, ramp rate, and recovery gives you the best results.

✔ Plan recovery correctly so you don't have to guess (or overtrain!).

✔ Remind yourself of season goals and identify mental strategies to up your mental game.

"Like many dedicated cyclists, I never lacked motivation. What I lacked was direction! Now, with this self-coaching framework, I train with purpose. I used to head out on rides with no intensity goals and murky outcomes—just ride hard. I thought time in the saddle was the same as progress. Not anymore. Erik’s training blocks offer a complete training schedule with ever-increasing difficulty, customization, and flexibility. And I understand what I’m doing! His tutorial videos and regular emails explain the technical and scientific aspects of training right, but then boil it down to the practical details I need. For the first time, I’m coaching myself to systematic and noticeable gains. I had a great season! I need to purchase a couple more VO2 blocks, but I’m already planning next season."

" Using this ATP and applying the learnings provided has helped me prepare better for such events and I look forward to the next one. Thank you again for the tools and clear explanations you provide in your training plans which have been instrumental in my progress from a reforming couch potato to what I hope will be a creditable age group competitor over time."
