Just a short but massive thank you for this schedule and especially the different interval programs. I applied them all, and I really could measure my progress.

Hi Jesper,

I am using your 12 week indoor program but i have some missunderstanding. There is written that training is 1,5 h but aerobic training 3 all together make 1hour. What in rest time (30 minutes) I should do? Maybe some other can explain. Thanks a lot.

[...] glæder jeg mig rigtig meget til at komme i gang med hans 12 ugers træningsprogram, jeg håber på at det kan booste lidt liv i lårbasserne igen! Og ikke mindst sætte rigtig meget [...]

Hi Jasper!
I’ve started yout winter training and i have same question like Stefan and Torbjörn. This was my first saturday ride and i had to improvise your program (use more power sprints than joust 3) . I use stationary bike with polar heart rate monitor. I took 15 minutes of warmup, than 65 minutes of tough ride (biggest gear – i dont know what level is approximate to the gear 53/14-17) with power sprints of 8-10 seconds and 6 minutes of rest, than 10 minutes of cool down. Was that good or am i doing wrong?
And endurance ride – since i use stationary bike and outside is too cold (snow included), how should i ride? Is that some structured training (for instance, 65% of my heart rate) or not?
Thank you.

Hello,

I live in a city where outdoor riding during the winter is next to impossible. I want to come out of the winter a better climber (I’m a road cyclist). What can you suggest to enhance that strength from this training schedule?

Thanks in advance.
