Plan Description
About the Plan
This 3 month plan is for a range of athletes who would like to be ready to mountain bike in a few months but who are new to mountain biking or are coming back after injury, illness or time off.
Ideally you will have frequent access to trails, a bike park (or field/backyard) and an mountain bike that is suitable for climbs, descending and skill work. Road bike/cross bike is helpful but not required.
Strength work is easily done in the house with what you have but extra gear, including dumbells will help
Nutrition guidelines are provided
The plan is built into 3 phases:
- skill/routine building resist the urge to stack on volume, intensity or frequency too soon.
- volume building
- intensity building
The Plan culminates with a goal of an epic weekend in week #11 or #12 with big climbing in a 3-4 hr ride (or two!)
--
Downloads are included for some (BUT NOT ALL) bike workouts as some are better done more freely and without restrictions of a download.
-
You can use this plan by HR, Power or RPE (no device) - you do not need to use downloads as the title and description of each workout should allow for completion of the key elements of the workout.
