One of the best ways to keep motivated and stick with your new-found or rediscovered love of riding is to set a goal. And one of the best ways to hit that goal is to follow a training plan.<\/p>\n

Depending on your fitness, that goal could be to ride 30 miles or complete a century ride<\/a> or more \u2013 anything you realistically believe you can achieve in a set time.<\/p>\n

Whether you opt to ride your goal distance on your own or with a group of friends, enter a sportive<\/a> or an audax<\/a>, one thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 you\u2019ll need to train. Matt Rowe, cycling coach at Rowe and King, has devised a 12-week training plan to help you accomplish your objective.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t followed a training plan before, you can jump to our cycling training tips.<\/p>\n
