About The Off Road Base Training Plan
This plan is a Base or 'General Preparation' plan that is meant to be flexible and effective training plan that YOU CAN FINISH!
It is meant to help you gradually accumulate general fitness for offroad cycling disciplines. This plan is meant to precede a 'build' or 'specific preparation period'. It is typically performed 4+ months out from your main event but may be used closer for endurance oriented events or for athletes lacking general fitness.
This plan builds your capacity for tempo/sweet spot while also working on cadence and coordination. Strength/Core/Mobility is included and progressed to help you arrive healthy and strong for your specific preparation period (i.e. Cyclocross or MTB or Gravel)
Is This Base Cycling Plan For You?
This is a really flexible plan! It is built assuming you will mix some indoor cycling, outdoor cycling, strength and some cross-training. Bike workouts can be done outside if you do not want to train indoors.
If you are quite time limited and/or you ONLY WANT TO TRAIN indoors we also have a Time-Limited Indoor Base Plan.
- Designed for riders with access to a mix of training types
- Plan Suggests 4–6 days on the bike and 1-2 days of strength work per week
- Weekly volume ranges from 5 to ~11 hours, with options to scale volume up or down
