I bought a training plan and some videos from thesufferfest.com...I got the road novice training plan because I just wanted to ease into it. It's still tough so don't let the "novice" title fool you. The plan is very laid out and structured, with tips and hints, ride schedule, effort zones to attempt to keep. The good thing is that it incoporates indoor training with outdoor training, which fits my schedule very well. It does require you to figure out your FTP, which is easy to do if you had a power meter or heartrate monitor, so I had to get a heartrate monitor (not expensive). The plan gives good instructions on figuring FTP out and then you calculate your effort zones for the workouts, which is also easy. All in all, it's a pretty solid plan.

It's a ten week plan and if you stick to it you will get faster, feel better, be stronger and all that good stuff. Check it out - Cycling Training Plans - Indoor + Outdoor
