Twelve weeks, built to drop your 70.3 bike split by 5–15 minutes while still running off the bike. Week-by-week structure for age-group athletes.
AERO POSITION TRAINING: HOW TO RIDE FASTER WITHOUT GETTING FITTER
Holding aero for two hours is a training adaptation, not a stretching test. Here's the progression that lets you stay low without losing power or torching your back.
THE BIKE LEG OF TRIATHLON: WHY MOST AGE-GROUPERS GET IT WRONG
The bike is 50–60% of your race-day time and the single biggest threat to your run. Most age-group plans give it a third of the attention. Here's what to change.
BRICK TRAINING FOR TRIATHLON: WHAT TO PRACTISE AND WHY
A useful brick has one job: learn the transition, rehearse race execution or combine training efficiently. Here is the evidence, the limits and five sessions that scale from a first triathlon to Ironman preparation.
CYCLING COACH VS TRIATHLON COACH: WHICH DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED?
Triathlon coach, cycling coach, or both? Here's the framework for deciding, based on where your time is leaking in race-day splits.
FTP TRAINING FOR TRIATHLETES: HOW IT'S DIFFERENT FROM CYCLISTS
Triathletes can't train FTP the way cyclists do. Volume, recovery, and session placement all have to change — or your run pays the price.

Sixteen weeks, three phases, one goal: arrive at T2 with legs that can still run a marathon. A week-by-week Ironman bike plan for age-groupers.
STRENGTH TRAINING FOR TRIATHLETES: BIKE-SPECIFIC EXERCISES
Triathlon-specific strength isn't bodybuilding. It's resilience training for the aero position, durability for the late-race bike, and force production that transfers to watts.
WHAT WATTAGE SHOULD YOU RIDE IN AN IRONMAN?
The real answer to 'what watts should I ride at Ironman' is 'it depends on these five things'. Here's how to calculate your exact target wattage.
FRED WHITTON CHALLENGE TRAINING PLAN: 12 WEEKS FOR THE HARDEST SPORTIVE IN BRITAIN

HOW TO CHOOSE AN ONLINE CYCLING COACH: THE 9-POINT CHECKLIST
There is no single best online cycling coach. Use this nine-point checklist to find the coach, service level and working relationship that fit you.
ACTIVE RECOVERY RIDES: HOW EASY IS EASY ENOUGH?
The universal mistake with recovery rides is riding them too hard. If you've ever finished a "recovery spin" slightly sweaty, slightly breathless, and quietly proud of the average power, you made yourself more tired — not less.
CYCLING COACHING FOR BEGINNERS: YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED A COACH YET
Most beginner cyclists don't need a coach. They need consistency, structured riding, and a community. Here's how to know when you've outgrown that and are actually ready for coaching.
CYCLING CORE WORKOUT: THE 15-MINUTE ROUTINE THAT ACTUALLY TRANSFERS TO THE BIKE
Crunches don't help you ride faster. Your core's job on the bike is to stabilise, not flex. Here's a 15-minute routine built around the movements that actually transfer to cycling performance.
GYM EXERCISES FOR CYCLISTS: HOW TO CHOOSE AN EFFECTIVE ROUTINE
No review proves eight mandatory cycling exercises. Build a small routine from useful movement patterns, then judge it by strength and riding outcomes.
HRV FOR CYCLISTS: USING HEART RATE VARIABILITY TO GUIDE TRAINING
HRV is the most useful recovery metric cyclists have — and the most frequently misused. One low reading does not mean skip the session. A fourteen-day downtrend might mean skip the whole week. Here's how to use it properly.
LEG DAY FOR CYCLISTS: DOES CYCLING COUNT AND WHEN TO RIDE?
Cycling trains the legs, but it is not the same stimulus as progressive resistance training. This guide separates the goals and shows how to fit both.
CYCLING OVERTRAINING: SIGNS, CAUSES, AND HOW TO RECOVER
Overtraining doesn't arrive overnight. It creeps up in the form of stalled power, a rising resting heart rate, and a quiet mood dip you blame on something else. Here's how to catch it before it costs you months.
HOW TO STRUCTURE A CYCLING REST WEEK
A rest week is not a week off. It's a deliberate volume cut that lets adaptation catch up with stimulus. Done right, you come back faster. Skipped or done wrong, you dig the fatigue hole deeper until something gives.
MTB HEART RATE ZONES: WHY THEY'RE DIFFERENT FROM ROAD CYCLING ZONES
If you take your road heart rate zones onto an MTB, you'll think you're always in zone 4. You're not. MTB shifts heart rate in predictable ways that your training needs to account for.
MTB NUTRITION: HOW TO ACTUALLY FUEL ON THE TRAIL
MTB fuelling is harder than road fuelling. Rough terrain, limited storage, and the fact that you cannot take your hand off the bars for three minutes at a time. Here's how to actually do it.
MTB VS ROAD CYCLING FITNESS: WHICH ACTUALLY BUILDS MORE FITNESS?
Road cycling is the better pure aerobic tool. MTB builds strength endurance and punchy power road riding cannot touch. Here's the no-nonsense breakdown of what each does — and why riders who do both get further.
TRIATHLON AERO POSITION: HOW TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT FASTER, NOT JUST LOOK PRO
Slamming the pads and going low doesn't make you faster. A position you can hold, fuel and run off does. Here's how to actually make your triathlon aero position faster on the clock, not just in photos.
TRIATHLON BIKE NUTRITION: HOW TO FUEL THE BIKE LEG WITHOUT WRECKING THE RUN
The bike leg is where you either fuel the run or blow it. Here are the carb targets that actually work for 70.3 and Ironman — and the exact timing that keeps your gut working when others start walking.
TRIATHLON CYCLING POWER-TO-WEIGHT: WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS
Cyclists obsess over W/kg. Most triathletes shouldn't. Absolute watts and aerodynamics beat power-to-weight on 90 per cent of triathlon courses — and W/kg only takes over on the climbs.
TRIATHLON CYCLING TRAINING PLAN: HOW TO BUILD A STRONGER BIKE LEG
Most triathletes bolt a cycling block onto a run-heavy week and call it a bike plan. Here's how a cycling specialist structures a triathlon bike plan that makes T2 the start of your race, not the end.
TRIATHLON BIKE PACING: THE FTP PERCENTAGES THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Most triathletes go out too hard on the bike and pay for it on the run. Here are the FTP percentages that actually work for Sprint, Olympic, 70.3 and Ironman — plus how to pace when your power meter dies.
TRIATHLON OFF-SEASON CYCLING: HOW TO BUILD REAL BIKE FITNESS IN WINTER
The off-season is where the bike engine is built. Stop trying to maintain three sports and spend a winter being a cyclist. Here's how to come out of April with the bike fitness that makes next season's races faster.
YOGA FOR CYCLISTS: DOES IT ACTUALLY HELP? AN HONEST LOOK
Yoga is marketed as a cure-all for cyclists. It does some things brilliantly and fails at others. Here's an honest look at what yoga can and can't do for your cycling.
POGACAR OR VAN DER POEL? GEORGE HINCAPIE OPENS UP ON PARIS-ROUBAIX 2026
George Hincapie has ridden Paris-Roubaix more times than most of us have watched it. Now he's back with his own team — and a take on who wins the biggest one-day race of the season.
WHICH BIKE UPGRADES ARE ACTUALLY WORTH THE MONEY?
The cycling industry wants you to believe everything is worth upgrading. Most of it isn't. Here's an honest ranking of what actually makes you faster versus what just makes your wallet lighter.
RACING TACTICS FOR AMATEUR CYCLISTS: BREAKAWAYS, POSITIONING, AND STRATEGY
Bike racing is chess at 40kph. The strongest rider doesn't always win — the smartest often does. Here are the tactical fundamentals that most amateur racers never learn.
WINTER CYCLING CLOTHING: THE COMPLETE LAYERING GUIDE
There's no bad weather, only bad clothing choices. Winter cycling is miserable when you're cold and miserable when you overheat. Here's the layering system that keeps you in the sweet spot.
SADDLE SORE PREVENTION: CHAMOIS CREAM, BIKE FIT, AND WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS
Saddle sores have ended more cycling seasons than bad weather. They're preventable, but only if you understand what causes them. Here's the full protocol.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR FTP: THE COMPLETE GUIDE FOR SERIOUS AMATEUR CYCLISTS
Your FTP hasn't moved in eighteen months and you're sick of conflicting advice. Here are the five methods that actually raise threshold power, how to test it without fooling yourself, and why your plateau is almost always fixable.
BREATHING TECHNIQUES FOR CYCLING: HOW TO BREATHE FOR PERFORMANCE
Most cyclists never think about breathing until they're gasping. But how you breathe affects oxygen delivery, core stability, and how hard the effort feels. Here's how to get it right.
CYCLING CRAMPS: CAUSES, IMMEDIATE RELIEF AND PREVENTION
Cycling cramps do not prove dehydration or sodium loss. Learn the immediate response, the multifactorial evidence and a practical way to investigate your own pattern.
HOW TO BREAK THROUGH AN FTP PLATEAU: WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS
You've been training consistently. You've been putting in the hours. And your FTP hasn't moved in months. Here's what's actually holding you back.

Tyre pressure is the single biggest setup change you can make on a mountain bike. Two PSI either way changes everything. Here's how to get it right.
CYCLING INTERVAL TRAINING: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS
Cycling intervals alternate a defined work period with recovery. This guide explains which session to choose, how hard to ride, how to progress one variable at a time and what the research can—and cannot—promise.
MTB SUSPENSION SETUP GUIDE: FORK AND REAR SHOCK, STEP BY STEP
Pressure is only the first input. This guide shows how to identify the exact suspension, calculate sag in millimetres and tune one setting at a time.
LOWER BACK PAIN ON THE BIKE: CAUSES, FIXES, AND PREVENTION
Lower back pain is the second most common cycling complaint after knee pain. The good news: in most cases, it's fixable without stopping riding. Here's what's causing it and what to do.
