Plan Description

Most of us just don't have the time to be able to train like the pros. But that doesn't mean we don't want to get the best out of ourselves with the time we have. These workouts are handpicked as some of the favorite and most effective of the pros. They are put together so that you can do the same workouts at home and watch your power improve!

It is 100% possible for you to improve your performance in mountain biking with only 3 rides per week! The key is doing the right rides and being consistent.

I know this because I have done it!

And I know that you can do this for 6 weeks.

This plan has 2 workouts during the weekdays that are focused intervals sessions. These can easily sync directly with your smart trainer, or you can do them outside by following the detailed instructions. This plan also leaves you to be able to ride on the weekends and HAVE FUN! Because fun is what it is all about!

We start by testing your fitness, then we retest your fitness at the end of the plan. You'll know exactly how much you've improved!

This plan is ideal is you have a family, work long hours, or simply just have a little bit less time to ride than you used to. You can start this plan on any day you want.
