Build gravity race power in 8 weeks, the explosive, repeatable punch that wins timed enduro stages, on 7 to 8 hours a week. This is a focused enduro MTB power plan that develops the neuromuscular sprint power, anaerobic repeatability and stage endurance a gravity racer needs, all fully Zwift and indoor compatible.
WHO IT IS FOR: Enduro and gravity racers who want to pedal harder out of every corner, over every rise and through every stage, and still be explosive on the final run. Add your own descending and bike handling skills on the trail. Every ride is in percentages of your FTP.
HOW IT PROGRESSES: A day one FTP test anchors your zones. Neuromuscular sprints and anaerobic repeats build raw explosive power, then repeated sprint sets and full stage race simulations forge the repeatability to attack again and again. A recovery week at week 4 keeps you fresh, a peak block sharpens race readiness, and week 8 tapers to your race on the final Sunday.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT: This is enduro specific, not cross country or marathon. It targets the short all out efforts, standing attacks and repeated stage power that decide gravity racing, and each ride carries a six part description and one verified sports science reference, over thirty distinct peer reviewed papers across the plan. Saturday stage simulations rehearse real race rhythm, fuelling and pacing.
WHAT TO EXPECT EACH WEEK: Two power sessions, one to two endurance rides, one stage race simulation with fuelling practice, and clear weekly guidance. Around 7 to 8 hours in the biggest weeks, tapering hard in race week. You finish on the start line explosive, repeatable and ready to attack every stage.
