How It Works
Bike MS is a dynamic system that creates custom training plans for each rider. We prepare cyclists of every level for specific road, mountain, and cyclocross events. We understand that even the most passionate cyclist struggles to balance training, social, work, and family responsibilities. You just want you to be the best athlete you can be, get out and train, and improve.
Our goal is to make training simple, so you can make the most of your time.
We base your plan on your goals, cycling experience, current fitness, and then fit it to your real-life schedule. As you get more fit, we adjust the plan so you continue to increase your power, endurance, and speed. Bike MS uses advanced training science to formulate each plan so that you avoid plateaus, have adequate recovery time, and arrive at your event confident, in peak condition.

- Plans let you specify how much base fitness you want to build before Bike MS introduces workouts that are specific to your cycling event.
- All plans prioritize rest and recovery to help you recognize performance gains, while avoiding overtraining and injury.
- As appropriate, plans include high intensity interval training and / or polarized training to help you maximize your performance.
- Bike MS uses FTP (functional threshold power) or Estimated FTP to determine your fitness and progress. Click here to learn more about Power.
