The 3-month Paris to Ancaster training plan has been tested over many years as different clients have taken on this grueling event and it is designed to give you experiences that will prepare you for race day. As Consummate Athletes, we look beyond just fitness and power to consider how your bike, gear, tactics, fueling, and pacing influence your success.
This plan is designed to get you ready for your best Paris to Ancaster yet! It is 12 weeks long and starts the first week of February BUT can be started during the first few weeks in most cases. The first week is about getting started with following a plan and a few baseline efforts. Consummate Athletes are big on preparation so we have included reminders about preparation, bike setup and critical event specific workouts to ensure you are ready to thrive on race day mentally and physically.

Is This Plan For You?
It is appropriate for riders who have raced and trained before but you do not need to be a serious pro. It is designed for busy people who have 5-8 hours of training most weeks with some flexibility to do more for a couple of weekends. The plan does provide options to extend or shorten workouts based on your schedule.
This plan is set to end on the event weekend so can not be applied to other weekends. BUT we do have other plans you can use for gravel races. (See all of our plans here )
What Does It Include?
In addition to rides + race tips, Structured Workout Downloads are included for most bike workouts ( for Garmin / Zwift Etc ). Some workouts do not have downloads to keep things simple and provide freedom from focus and devices! (e.g. ride endurance for 3 hours). The first 2 months include more indoor-oriented workouts but all can be done outside.
A basic core routine and 1-2 weekly yoga sessions are provided and encouraged throughout the plan
You can use this plan by HR, Power or RPE – you do not need to use downloads as the title and description of each workout should allow for completion of the key elements of the workout.
The plan is 6-10 hours a week with options noted to extend or reduce as your schedule, fitness and goals dictate
$47USD
Want a Custom Training Plan? If you are a new rider, or if you have really ambitious goals, or if your schedule is quite variable (e.g. fire-fighters and nurses) then please consider a 3-Month Custom Plan instead.
