Training

Training for the Trans Am Bike Race

We don't do generic plans. We combine deep knowledge of this race's demands with your recent training, then build a plan with you that progresses as you do.

Beina integrates directly with your existing tools to understand your current fitness, and synchronise your planned sessions.

Intervals.icu

A continent, non-stop

Typical sessions

Roughly 4,233 miles and around 53,000m of cumulative climbing over three to five weeks in the saddle.

High paved passes and altitude in the Rockies, then short savage climbs in the Ozarks and Appalachians on tired legs.

Relentless headwinds and 35C-plus heat across the exposed Kansas plains.

Multiple nights riding open, trafficked roads on mounting sleep debt.

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Long Z2 road-endurance rides building from 5 hours out to 12 hours plus, the core of the plan.

Back-to-back weekends and a 4 to 6 day self-supported road trip to teach your legs to ride tired.

Sustained Z3 tempo blocks and aero-position hours for the plains headwinds.

Heat adaptation, big-climb work and overnight rides through the Specialise block.
