Ultra Cycling Race – Multi Year Plan

In 2025, i will race for BJ 2025 and this is my plan.

1. Develop a consistent and achievable plan.

My current training is too sporadic and a lot of on and off in between. I want to train at least minimum 5 days per week, being 3 days in the work days and 2 days on the weekend.

2. Build a solid base.

My current FTP sucks but the end game is not about holding big watts for 1 hour. I want to be able ride at 25-28 kph for 12 to 15 hours in 7 consecutive days. My target LTP 130-150 watts and this is my all day target power.

3. Multiple Target

  • Nov23 – Feb 24 : Getting the leg ready. Current TL is 40 and aiming to be at 60 TL at the end of February. Current LTP is 60 and LTP target is 90-100. This is base training.
  • Mar 24 – Apr 24 : Slightly decrease TL. All training should be done at around LTP.
  • May – Aug 24 : Aim for 80 TL. Looking for audax or fondo event. Focus are in 10-20 minutes power. 6-8 hours of riding on the weekend. When WFH, 2 days of morning and evening workout.
  • Sep – Dec 24 : Aim for 80 – 100 TL. 8 hours of riding at weekend. When WFO, aim at least 2 days of easy ride in the gym. When WFH : 2 days of morning and evening ride. 1 days off. Another audax event.
  • 2025 : Maintain or slighly increase TL until Ramadhan. After that focus on three consecutive days of long ride.

4. Weight Management.

I’m too fat. Aim for 65-70 kg at the race line.

4. Record everything in this blog.

Plan, execute, review.
