This is a 12 to 13-week program to build top form for the state cyclocross championship.
If you want to race more, simply adapt the weekend schedule to accommodate your race program.
All of my plans include endurance training, strength training, yoga, and full email support (paulw@SimpleEnduranceCoaching.com). Email me with questions any time!
The key to any cyclocross season is recovery after racing. That said, you have two to three hard sessions a week, including the racing. You may find that three sessions are too much for you. Delete the workout that is your biggest strength. If you are already strong, delete the tempo or sweet spot intervals. If you are already fast, delete the short workouts.
Always complete the cross practice workouts, even if there is no local practice. Get out on your own to practice starts, dismounts/ remounts, and off-camber turning.
Also, you can do the short intervals on a grassy or sandy course to also practice your cyclocross skills.
If you have questions, please contact me at paulw@SimpleEnduranceCoaching.com. If you have access to a gym, I'm happy to send you a program for gym strength work. I can also help coach you through this program with a semi-custom package. See more of what I offer for endurance training, strength training, and yoga at www.SimpleEnduranceCoaching.com
