This is the reason you're not getting faster
It’s not the plan. It’s what’s missing around it.
Think about every training plan you’ve followed.
TrainerRoad. Zwift. A plan from a coach. A free PDF from someone’s blog. Maybe one you built yourself from podcast episodes and YouTube videos.
You followed it. You did the intervals. You rode the long rides.
And then nothing moved. FTP shifted a few watts. Weight stayed the same. Still getting dropped on the same climb.
A training plan is one pillar. You’ve been trying to hold up the entire structure with a single pillar.
The coaches behind Grand Tour winners — Dan Lorang, the team around Remco — say the same thing over and over: the training is the easy part. Any good coach can write intervals. What separates the riders who improve from the ones who stall is everything else.
Five things. Miss any one and the whole system underperforms.
Coaching — not just a plan. Someone watching your data every day, adjusting sessions, catching fatigue before you bury yourself.
Nutrition — precision fueling. When to eat. What to eat. How to fuel a 4-hour ride versus a 90-minute interval session. We’re building out every meal for you (exactly like a World Tour rider)
Strength and conditioning — cycling-specific. Not generic gym work. A full S&C roadmap built for what your body actually needs on the bike.
Recovery — sleep, stress, adaptation. Invisible until it breaks. Most amateurs are under-recovering, not under-training.
Community — accountability. Serious riders at your level, doing the same work, holding each other to the standard. Nobody thinks they need this until they have it. (Last nights live call was so much fun)
NDY (Not Done Yet) was built around all five. Not as an afterthought. As the architecture.
Daily session feedback. Weekly calls with three coaches. Monthly one-on-one reviews. Descending workshops. Bike fits with an INEOS fitter. Nutrition deep dives with the best in the World Tour.
You’ve been building on one pillar. This is the rest of the structure.
Gregory was 315 pounds. Years of calorie restriction had wrecked his metabolism. He started using fuelling properly through NDY. Today he’s under 100kg for the first time in 15 years. Not through restriction. Through precision.
Kewen beat his 2-minute power PB from 2023 — a 25-watt improvement. David hit a 15-second power PB on what was supposed to be a steady endurance ride. These are people training the same hours as you. The difference is the four pillars they weren’t covering before.
30 spots is all i’m making available and then the door close again
Don’t let another summer of cycling & adventure slip by you.

P.S. If you’ve been training hard and not seeing results, the problem almost certainly isn’t effort. It’s the system around the effort. That’s fixable. www.roadmancycling.com/apply
