There seems to be a pretty big selection of training plans offered by british cycling (ostensibly for free). No mention of Triamcinolone or inhalers. :banana:
Anyone have experience good/bad with them?
Here's an example

Sufferfest makes no secret that they make use of their warmups.
Works for me.
I like a lot of their CX plan:

ive incorporated some of their sessions into my riding. I have come to the conclusion im too old to train. riding has to be fun, so ill add in some 40-20s, or the 100rpm climbing drill, or the big ring power drill into otherwise normal rides. the 40-20s have certainly pushed my early season FTP up a bit, plus they are super fun:banana:

Talking about "Igniter"? I believe that's the only one where BC's methods are referenced specifically.

I haven't used their training plans (didn't know about them--thanks for sharing), but I started using some of their recipes (available under Nutrition section) with noticeable success (which I define as my liking to eat things like banana muffins and porridge).

I haven't looked at their nutrition section. I'm too afraid that I'll relive that scene from King Ralph.
