This is a 10-week CX (cyclocross) plan designed to prepare beginner or intermediate road or MTB racers for the demands of CX races. The plan includes many high-intensity, on-bike workouts. Start this plan 10 weeks before your goal race or season kick-off. Each week includes 6-12 hours of workouts, with rest weeks scheduled in. For best results, complete an 8- to 12-week training base before starting this plan if you haven’t raced and trained throughout the summer. If you’re coming off a road or MTB race season, take 1 or 2 weeks of rest/transition before starting this plan. The final four weeks of this plan feature a block training format for best results.
Included with your plan:
- Instruction booklet (attached to the first day of the plan)
- Testing protocol
- Coaching comments and tips
- Free cyclocross webinar
