New to the suf

Hi all Sufferlandrians.

Looking for some advice on where to start. Currently using zw*ft and have done a couple of training plans on there, all be it pretty basic ones, last one I done was the fondo plan. Ride pretty much everyday alternating workload hard one day active recovery next day, tend to take friday off and then have a couple of rides on the weekend and back to it Monday with an easy ride.

My time is quite limited, I usually have about 30 mins to an hour for my workouts.

Can anyone reccomend a good plan to start on my sufferfest journey?

Welcome, first this is 10,000,000% better than z**ft!

I did a few random sessions to start then did the full frontal ftp test and signed up for a program with strength and yoga. I love the structure.

Enjoy the suffering

Hello and welcome!
I would suggest to have a personal look at all the plans.
If you do not have any specific target in mind, the “All-Purpose Road” is a good one.
Select “Novice” and “Indoor Only” and see for yourself if the workouts suit you.
Just a clarification: Novice does not mean that you are novice, it refers to hours/week.
Add some yoga and strength if you like.

For something easier, you can also check the Transition “Ramp Up”, although this has yoga and strength training baked it, so you may or may not like it.

Couch to Crasher is also good, eSports Racing if you want to do some racing as well.

Enjoy! :hot_face:
