The world’s best training app

We use TrainingPeaks for personalised training zones, trackable progress and so much more – on any device.

What makes this training plan different than the others? 

Your plan will be build and based off of your next race and/or goals for the season. By doing so, we will maximize your capacities and therefore your performance on race day!

You have the option to start with a 2 weeks trial where we will analyze your results and will give your the « Blocs » that would suit you best. A trial option can be selected when you will choose your personalized plan. We will then be able to make some changes to your plan if there is the need.

About The Bloc

Analysis protocol

 For more than four years, I’ve been working on a physiological analysis system and formula. The goal is simple: to determine your athletic profile with three physiological tests that you can do at home with very little equipment.

 When you join the BLOC Plan, you’ll be assigned two weeks of training. Everyone goes through these two weeks. The exercises will target your weaknesses as an athlete and determine the four 10-week training blocks that are right for you. Why work on your endurance if it’s one of your strengths? With a comprehensive and easy-to-understand physiological profile, we know exactly what to work on. We target your weaknesses, accelerating your progress exponentially.

Coach Francis

Tests

We use 1-minute and 20-minute critical power tests, the endurance index and the running VO2max. This last test is meant to be particularly accessible, as it can be completed in 6 minutes. The results will indicate your strengths and weaknesses. It will then be easy to assign you one of the 36 possible BLOC Plans, each targeting different physiological improvements and different training trajectories.

Again, the BLOC Plan team takes the long way round. We don’t squeeze the plan into 12 or 16 weeks; this would increase the risk of injury due to a lack of progression and a lack of time to properly develop each area needing improvement.
