The PC Coach Cycling plan was created by elite cycling coach Dr. Edmund R. Burke. Dr. Burke is the author of several books, including:  "Serious Cycling", "High-Tech Cycling", and "Precision Heart Rate Training." The training techniques and principles Dr. Burke uses to coach his elite athletes are now available to cyclists of all abilities.

The Plan
The PC Coach Cycling Plan covers an entire year, and includes training plans for everything from fitness cycling, to preparation for a century or two-day ride, all the way to competitive road racing at USCF levels 5 through 1. A vast array of training options is built into this plan, which makes it easy to individualize the training according to your goals. It includes options for heart rate based training, along with a more standard effort based approach.

An annual plan option is included for serious competitors, while beginners and those who seek to prepare for a single event can choose a shorter training progression. In addition to the large suite of cycling workouts, this plan also includes cross training and strength training as optional parts of the training picture. So whether your aim is to compete in the USCF categories, complete a Century, or get the best fitness results from your cycling exercise, you'll be motivated by the training schedule the PC Coach Cycling Plan creates for you.

 The Startup Interview

When you begin the Cycling Plan, the program conducts a Startup Interview to determine your experience, your goals and your level of fitness. Based on your responses during the comprehensive startup interview the program creates your schedule a week (or more) at a time.

Scheduling

The program loads your customized plan onto your own Calendar. PC Coach has several calendars to display your workout schedule: a week view (shown below), a month view, a long-term planner view and a detailed workout view. All workouts scheduled by the Cycling Plan include recommended duration and intensity, expressed in heart rate or zone.
