The Build Phase takes the aerobic foundation you established in the Base Phase and raises the ceiling. Workout B shifts to VO2max intervals, the most effective training stimulus for developing maximal aerobic power. You will work harder in shorter bursts, recover fully and go again. Week by week the intervals get longer and the adaptation deepens.
The strength sessions move into the barbell programme for the first time. You have spent eight weeks building movement quality. Now you load those patterns progressively under the bar, developing the structural strength that protects you on the bike and keeps you riding injury free throughout the season.
VO2max intervals progressing from 3 minute to 4 minute efforts at 90 to 95 percent of Max HR
FatMax conditioning session maintained throughout for aerobic base preservation
Full barbell strength and conditioning programme across two progressive cycles
Two planned deload weeks built into the structure
Detailed coaching notes for every session including pacing guidance
Designed to follow directly from the Base Phase or as a standalone programme
