Build - MTB Marathon - Endurance Events over 3 hours
Plan Description
This plan is best applied 8-12 weeks ahead of your goal of marathon race / 100 miler / mountain bike race longer than 3 hours. Ideally, you will have completed a general preparation or 'base' phase to establish fitness and cycling skills before this more specific block of training.
I have an 'offroad base' plan in the training peaks library as well (see all my plans https://www.trainingpeaks.com/coach/peterglassford#trainingplans )
This plan has a few workouts with structured workout downloads for zwift/garmin. It is a build plan for MTB however so many of the workouts are better executed based on description/words (eg. some are very simple and better done by getting on your bike and going and having fun! )
The plan can be adjusted from ~6-15 hours per week, more restrictive or larger volume plans are best done as 100% made for you 3-month plans (see below)
There is a 10 min core routine included throughout the week - this can be adjusted to your usual or adding in therapy exercises you like.
Workouts provide options for outdoors or indoors depending on your location and weather.
Do you have an Irregular Schedule or Want a Custom Training Plan?
Consummate Athlete offers a 3 months Made For You Plan, which eliminate much of the friction of pre-made plans because it takes your schedule, goals, equipment, and abilities into account
