20-Week Ultra-Endurance Plan

Prepare for 200+ km events and multi-day rides

20 weeks10-18h/week

Base10-13h/wk

Massive aerobic volume with fat adaptation emphasis

1× long ride building from 4h to 7h2× Zone 2 rides (90-120 min)1× easy recovery spin with mobility

Build13-16h/wk

Back-to-back long days and tempo under fatigue

1× back-to-back weekend (5h Saturday + 4h Sunday)1× long ride with tempo blocks at race pace1× midweek threshold session (2×20 min)

Peak15-18h/wk

Event simulation with nutrition and pacing rehearsal

1× ultra-simulation ride (8-12h with full race protocol)1× overnight or dawn-to-dusk ride1× threshold surges under fatigue

Taper6-8h/wk

Volume reduction while maintaining race-pace ability

Easy rides with short race-pace effortsGear and nutrition checks

A 20-week ultra plan that builds massive aerobic volume, trains fat oxidation through extended time in the saddle, and includes multi-day simulation blocks. For events like brevets, bikepacking races, and 24-hour time trials.

16-Week Brevet Plan

Complete a 300-600 km brevet within time limits

16 weeks8-15h/week

Base8-10h/wk

Progressive long-ride extension and aerobic efficiency

1× long ride building from 100 to 200 km2× Zone 2 endurance (75-90 min)

Build11-14h/wk

Sustained riding, back-to-back days, and night riding

1× 200+ km rehearsal ride with control-stop practice1× back-to-back long weekend1× night ride for sleep deprivation adaptation

Peak12-15h/wk

Full brevet simulation and pacing mastery

1× 300+ km dress rehearsal1× tempo surges under deep fatigue

Taper5-6h/wk

Rest, equipment prep, and short openers

Easy spins with brevet-pace effortsBike and gear final setup

Structured for audax and brevet riders targeting 300-600 km events. Emphasizes time-in-saddle tolerance, night riding adaptation, and control-stop management alongside aerobic development.

Ultra-Endurance Long Ride

210 min

Zone Distribution

Z1 14%Z2 67%Z3 19%

A foundational ultra-endurance session building time-in-saddle tolerance beyond 3 hours — developing fat oxidation, mental resilience, and the muscular durability required for events lasting 6-24+ hours.

Fatigue Resistance Builder

180 min

warmup (55-70% FTP)steady (62-72% FTP)steady (76-83% FTP)2× 5min 91-100% FTP / 5min recinterval (91-100% FTP)steady (60-70% FTP)cooldown (40-55% FTP)

Zone Distribution

Z1 8%Z2 67%Z3 17%Z4 8%

Combines extended endurance riding with threshold surges in the final hour to train power output under deep fatigue — the defining skill of ultra-endurance events where you must keep pushing when the body wants to stop.
