About

DraftForge

Read full description

Build a cycling training program around the way you actually train. DraftForge creates personalised, periodised cycling programs based on your riding experience, goals, training availability, and current riding volume. Rather than forcing you into a generic training template, DraftForge builds your program around the time you have available and the riding you want to prepare for. PERSONALISED TRAINING PLANS Tell DraftForge about your riding background, current training, goals, available days, and preferred ride times. DraftForge uses this information to create a structured cycling program designed around you. STRUCTURED PROGRESSION Your program is organised into training phases and weeks, with endurance, recovery, and higher-intensity sessions incorporated according to your training profile and progression. A CALENDAR BUILT FOR TRAINING See your entire program in a simple calendar. Open any session for its target duration, intensity, terrain guidance, and workout instructions. TRAIN AROUND YOUR LIFE Choose the days you can ride, how much time you have available, and when you prefer to train. DraftForge builds the program around those constraints rather than expecting your life to fit the plan. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Mark sessions as completed, follow your training progression, and keep your program organised as you work through each phase. CLEAR WORKOUT GUIDANCE Each workout gives you practical guidance on how to complete the session. Endurance sessions prioritise duration and intensity while providing realistic distance guidance based on the session. METRIC OR IMPERIAL Choose kilometres or miles and DraftForge presents your training information in the units you prefer. BUILT FOR CYCLISTS Whether you are building consistency, improving fitness, preparing for longer rides, or working towards a cycling goal, DraftForge gives you a structured training program without unnecessary complexity. DraftForge provides training guidance for informational and fitness purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
