Why choose Caboose for
your training plans?
Most cyclists don’t need expensive, bespoke training plans, which often cost £100s per month, but standard plans from platforms like Zwift also fall short. There’s a middle ground: affordable, flexible training plans with realistic, achievable sessions.
While bespoke coaching may be valuable for those at an advanced level, most cyclists are either working towards that place or simply want to optimize their performance within their available time.
So, while following a plan is beneficial, spending hundreds of pounds on one isn’t necessary.
Some questions we are asked a lot
about training plans
Do I need a TrainingPeaks™️ account?
Yes. But, you can get an account for FREE and access all Caboose Cycle Coaching plans through it. Sign up for a free account here.
Why are all of the plans purchased on TrainingPeaks™️?
There are a few reasons the plans are purchased through TrainingPeaks:
- The plan is simply uploaded to your account and training calendar – making it super easy to get started.
- You can connect your devices (Garmin, Wahoo, Zwift etc) and send all your sessions to it.
- You are protected by their already established payment processing and security – we don’t hold or store any of your payment details.
- You are protected by the TrainingPeaks refund policy – if you don’t like the training plan, you can switch to another that we offer.
Do I need a power meter?
We generally recommend you have a power meter and heart rate monitor. This is so you can get the most out of your chosen training plan. These devices provide an accurate measure of performance in real time and help track performance and fitness over the training period.
Why should I not just use Zwift’s free training plans?
It’s a fair point, Zwift offers free training plans within the app. However, if you’ve ever tried to do some of their sessions, you’ll know the intervals are sometimes extremely difficult. A key element to a good training plan is creating challenging but achievable sessions with adequate recovery.
Also, if you don’t use ERG mode during the session, any resistance settings are removed, sometimes making it difficult to hit the correct watts for your efforts. ERG mode is great for some aspects of training, but it’s not suitable for all sessions with a lack of flexibility and even less simulation of real-world riding.
How is this better than 1-to-1 coaching?
We aren’t saying it is in all cases. Personalised 1-to-1 coaching is absolutely the way to get the most out of training. However, the riders who can benefit most from this are at the pinnacle of cycling.
Most of us can make huge improvements before needing 1-to-1 coaching by following training plans like the ones we offer (at a fraction of the cost).
Not to come for all cycling coaches, but some of them are just copying and pasting their training programs to all of their athletes anyway and charging them £100+ for the privilege…
