So far in this course we have looked at the concepts of training load, and how to organize this by the means of low-intensity and high-intensity training. Anecdotally, it is not uncommon for …
Getting the big picture
The greatest challenge in training is being able to see the big picture, as well as the details. And knowing when to focus on which. We should recognise that there are many pieces to the puzzle, …
The polarized 3 week cycle
In the previous lesson, we introduced the concept of training load. We also demonstrated how development of endurance capacity is closely associated with the magnitude of training stimuli …
3 tools for load monitoring
In the previous module, we reviewed the strong correlation between training load and performance level. As such, one of your most fundamental strategies for becoming a faster cyclist is increasing …
Recognizing the gravity of total training load
In the previous lesson, we reviewed the research underpinning the polarized training model as a versatile and effective tool for cyclists across different performance levels. Indeed, the main …

The science of polarized training
One of the most difficult conundrums for cyclists is the question of how to organise your training for maximal results. What training will give me the biggest possible power to weight ratio? The …
