Tailored training plans for optimal preparation

To take your preparation further, training plans over a period of 12 weeks before L’Étape du Tour de France have been developed in collaboration with the FFC (French Cycling Federation). The preparation is divided into 3 blocks, each focusing on a specific aspect: velocity, strength, and power.

Two adapted programs are available, ‘ the classic program’ training plan and ‘the Ladies, it’s your turn to play!’ training plan dedicated to women, taking into account menstrual cycles. Each plan has its own goal: ‘Finisher goal’ for those familiar with cycling or with limited time (3 outings per week), and ‘Chrono goal’ for those aiming for performance (5 outings per week).
