INTRO TO ENDURANCE CYCLING

Build your endurance. Ride farther. Get faster. Stop guessing.



The Purps Performance Hybrid Cycling Progression is a 12-week endurance + speed program designed to give developing cyclists a simple, repeatable structure for improving on the bike.

I built this program by applying training principles I’ve used across multiple sports to endurance cycling, then testing and refining the structure on the bike in real time.

What’s Inside

• 12-week structured cycling framework
• Progressive long-ride programming
• Zone 2 endurance development
• Threshold, VO2 max and sprint sessions
• Hill and strength-endurance work
• Heart-rate training zones
• FTP-based power zones
• Recommended cadence ranges
• Recovery and deload guidance
• 12 weeks of progress tracking for each ride type
• HR, power, cadence, distance and elevation tracking
• 3-month progress dashboard and reflection tools

The goal isn’t to destroy yourself every ride.

It’s to make the rides that once felt hard start feeling normal.

Who It’s For

This program is designed for cyclists who want to build endurance and speed but aren’t sure how to structure their riding beyond simply riding more or riding harder.

The framework can be repeated in 12-week cycles for up to one year, with your training zones and workload reassessed between cycles. Beyond that point, more individualized programming based on your specific goals, strengths, weaknesses and training history is recommended.
