MTB Enduro Progress Plan with Strength and Conditioning - 8 week
This plan is designed for any Mountain Bikers that are getting into the Enduro format of riding and racing. It will give you an excellent foundation to build on and features a mixture of:
* Strength and Conditioning
* Technique Sessions
* Endurance Training
* Sprint and Interval Sessions
This plan can be used at any point in the year and will slot into any of our longer duration plans as a great Pre Competition phase training block. The structure of the training will slowly ramp up as your fitness increases every week so your body will be able to immediately use its new performance gains on the trails.
