FAQs
Our training plans are designed to help you excel in two main categories of cycling events:
Time Trials: We offer a range of plans specifically focused on Time Trial improvement, designed to build your strength and stamina for the race against the clock.
Gran Fondos: We also have dedicated plans to prepare you for completing your first 100-kilometer or 100-mile Gran Fondo endurance event.
For Time Trial plans, you can choose based on your weekly training volume. We offer options for those who can train “4-5 Hours Per Week,” “5-6 Hours Per Week,” or a general plan for those with “Limited Time”.
For Gran Fondo plans, you select based on the total duration of the training block. We offer plans that are 10, 12, 14, or 16 weeks long, allowing you to pick one that fits your event timeline. Individual plans will offer how many hours per week there is in terms of training time.
The Gran Fondo plans vary by two key factors: the target event distance and the total length of the plan. You can choose a plan to prepare for either a 100-kilometer or a 100-mile Gran Fondo.
Within each distance, you can select a training duration that best fits your schedule, with options ranging from 10 to 16 weeks.
Our Time Trial plans are differentiated by the total plan duration and the weekly time commitment. You can choose between a 6-week or an 8-week training block.
For each duration, you can then select a plan based on the hours you can train per week, with options for “4-5 Hours Per Week,” “5-6 Hours Per Week,” or a more flexible plan for those with “Limited Time”.

Chris provided a great route map for me through the usual challenges which occur prior to any event: work, illness, family etc, and adapted my sets and sessions without any drama.
He supported these changes with reassuring words that I was still making the progress required, not to panic and trust the process.
Training for an Ironman can be a lonely activity and an experienced knowledgeable supporting voice through that journey was invaluable tome ultimately achieving my objective.

Dan - 1:1 Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan
“I used an Efficent Endurance 3 month training plan. I found this super useful and without it I don’t feel I would have made the improvements I have.
It provides you with a super detailed plan of each workout session and why you are doing it.
I will be training with Efficient Endurance again this month and definitely will be again in the future.”
