About The 8 Month Leadville 100 Training Plan
This plan is made specifically for the Leadville 100 mile Mountain Bike Race. It is demanding, just like the race! This plan is different from other plans because it is made specifically for adults who must balance work and social/family calendars.
This plan builds your fitness, skills and tactics so that you can put together a great performance on race day. It has been proven by the number of finishes and belt-buckles it has accumulated over 10+ years of use by athletes like you.
It starts during the holiday week ahead of the New Year / January 1st and it ends on the event date each year. It is also designed so that you can start in Feb or March if you want to start later. Getting started earlier tends to be better but if you are fit and healthy starting the plan 3-5 months out from the race would be great and there are notes for those joining the plan late at the beginning of each block.

Is This Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Plan For You?
This plan is for Intermediate and advanced riders who are skilled and/or bold enough to take on a challenging event like the Leadville 100 Trail Mountain Bike Race! It will get you fit but also make sure you are prepared technically, tactically, and logistically. It follows the same progressions and ideas I have used to help athletes get both 9 and 12-hour belt buckles.
The plan requires about 6-8 hours in shorter weeks up to 12-15+ hours in longer weeks. The workouts suggest a range that you choose based on your daily availability, base-line fitness and your goals in the event.
What Does this Leadville Cycling Plan Include?
- Leadville Tips or 'Beta' that are invaluable to avoid common mistakes and boost your results
- Structured Workout Downloads are included for *many* bike workouts ( for Garmin / Zwift Etc )
