This plan is designed for people who want to compete in a 3-day MTB stage race.
The base plan is designed to create a strong aerobic fitness that will prepare you for our 12-week 3-day MTB Stage Race Build plan. Visit our site to learn more about choosing our training plans to meet your needs.
Start this plan 24 weeks before your goal race, then follow the 12-week MTB 3-Day Stage Race Build Plan. Rest days are on Monday and Friday, and rest weeks every three weeks. Designed to start on a Monday with shorter workouts on weekdays and longer workouts on weekends.
Workouts are written to use a power meter, an HR monitor, or rate of perceived exertion, but using both a power meter and an HR monitor is best for accurate progress tracking. The plan includes structured workouts compatible with your smart trainer and device, guiding you through them in real time.
For people just getting started with training, coming off a long break, or off the couch, start with our 6 Week Conditioning/Adaptation Training Plan for a total of 30 weeks of training when you stack our Conditioning plan with our Base and Build plans
This plan is perfect for races such as SingleTrack 6 3 day, Moab Rocks, TransRockies 3 days, Breck Epic 3 day, Leadville Stage Race and many others.
