The plans work
My riding has improved and the plans are really easy to follow. I have completed sweet spot parts 1 and 2, and the climbing interval program. Starting sweet spot part 3. I am not a competitor, I am 52 years old and started riding seriously last year. I had no "base" and would get dropped on every group ride prior to starting the Fascat programs. I stopped getting dropped, and have completed century rides and my overall enjoyment on the bike has improved.
