CX Training Block 2!!!!  Peak power / Anaerobic gains with variable efforts  


Hit me up with questions/comments/ideas - Josh@EVOQ.BIKE    


All training targets/areas should be based on the demands of cyclocross racing. Here are some specific areas and workouts that you can incorporate into your training to better prepare you for the upcoming season.    


Checkout Block 1 for more info!


1) Endurance Training + Core & Strength work  



  • See block 1 for why this is important!

  • Dial back your strength intensity in this block  


2) FRC/FTP 



  • Variable efforts needed to respond in cross races

  • Spike that lactate in the bloodstream + use that lactate as a fuel source

  • Workouts = get variable!  


3) FRC



  • Attacks in CX races - need to respond? Peak FRC power!

  • Practice going deep!!

  • Workout = ALL OUT efforts!  


4) PMax



  • Starts! - Can’t win here but you can slide back into a bad spot…. 

  • Workout = high torque starts + PRACTICE!  


5) Skills + Running with speed & intensity



  • Running intervals

  • Running terrain

  • ALL OUT INTENSITY SKILLS  


Block 3 coming next week! What to do DURING cross season!?
