Program Structure
The minimum commitment requirement to join this program is 2x 60 minute ride classes a week. The program, on a high level basis, is structured as 3 progressive blocks of 4 weeks each, starting with base building and then becoming more specific and harder towards the end. The full program and more detail will be sent to all those who have signed-up.
Our City Alps class schedule will run as usual but on certain days, we will be including FTP PROGAM specific classes just for you. We will always let you know 2 weeks in advance, which classes and time options you can choose from (don't worry, we will make sure to have 2x different morning and evening options so you don't miss out).
In addition to your 2x 60 min ride classes, we recommend (if you have the time) that you join our exclusive weekly 90 minute endurance ride class for the FTP program members only (Thursday evening at 19:00 or Sunday morning at 10:15). We also advise that you build in 1-2 strength training sessions into your weekly training to help prevent injuries and improve your overall core strength and posture - ultimately making you far more efficient and powerful on the bike.
Everyone will, of course, adapt to the training plan in a slightly different way. Your results will be affected by consistency and effort, diet, sleep and other factors such as how stressful your job is and other life events. We take a holistic and long-term view of training and health at City Alps. Try to be as consistent as life allows, focus on the process and consistency and the results will follow!
