Plan Description
Mountain Bike Stage Race Training Plan
This training plan is designed to help you achieve your goals in a mountain bike stage race. It is a 9-week plan that includes a variety of workouts to help you build your endurance, strength, and power.
Prerequisites
You should have some level of previous fitness and experience cycling and using an indoor trainer.
Previous experience in one day marathon racing is essential before taking on a multi-day stage race.
Training Plan
The training plan is divided into three phases:
Build Phase (weeks 1-4): This phase is designed to build your endurance and strength. You will focus on longer rides at a moderate intensity.
Peak Phase (weeks 5-7): This phase is designed to help you peak your endurance for your race. You will focus on shorter, more intense rides with increased volume.
Taper Phase (weeks 8-9): This phase is designed to help you recover from your training and prepare for your race. You will reduce your training volume and keep intensity constant.
Workouts**
The workouts in this plan are designed to help you improve your cycling performance in all areas. They include:
Endurance rides: These rides are designed to build your aerobic fitness. You will ride at a moderate intensity for a long period of time.
Tempo rides: These rides are designed to help you improve your lactate threshold. You will ride at a hard intensity for a moderate period of time.
Intervals: These rides are designed to help you improve your power and speed. You will ride at a very hard intensity for a short period of time.
Recovery

Proper nutrition is essential for optimal performance. You should eat a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, small amount of fats and whole grains before your race.
It is important to stay hydrated during your training and racing. You should drink plenty of fluids, especially water. You should also drink sports drinks if you are sweating a lot.
Mental Preparation
Mental preparation is just as important as physical preparation for a mountain bike stage race. You should visualize yourself winning the race and believe in yourself. You should also be prepared for the challenges of the race and have a positive attitude.
Race Day
On race day, it is important to get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast. You should also arrive at the race early so that you have time to warm up and focused. During the race, it is important to stay hydrated and fueled with adequate amount of carbohdrates per hour. You should also pace yourself and not try to go too hard too early.
