About THE 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 on January 1st and ends on the event date each year but is designed so that you can start in Feb or March. 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 Endurance 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.
