In my case, to prepare for a 100-mile century ride, that’s 12 weeks of Sweet Spot Base phases, followed by 8 weeks of a Sustained Power Build phase, and finished off with 8 weeks of a Century specialty phase.
It gives you a road map to success and all you need to do is follow it. What you chose to focus on in the Specialty phase largely dictates what Base and Build phases you’ll pick. If you put in the time and effort, TrainerRoad will not disappoint you with the results. You take TrainerRoad's straight forward no nonsense approach to training along with their weekly podcast filled with its wealth of cycling related information, and add to it the knowledge base you can gain from the TrainerRoad community forum, you can transform yourself into that cyclist you always wanted to be. Someone who was unable to ride more then 19 miles without passing, is now able to participate in century rides with over 4,000 vertical ft. TrainerRoad Training program took me from an out of shape, overweight middle aged guy to someone who can now mix it up on a fast local group ride. Those feeling and accomplishments never get old. That feeling you get when you are just out having fun with a group of friends knowing that you will be able to handle anything anyone can throw at you. Specificity is important during race season, but when you are not targeting a particular event, Sweet Spot is the most versatile way to build your engine. That feeling you get when you are able to hang with a fast local club ride and even being able to contend for that mass sprint at the end. While base training is usually thought of as an early-season regimen, the reality is that more base is always a good thing and comes with very little risk of fatigue or overtraining. The feeling you get when you smash a local climb that has been your nemesis. Getting Faster on a bicycle is very addicting.
