Plan Description

This plan is designed with the beginner to intermediate mountain biker in mind.

You have only a few hours a week to train and you're in a bit of a crunch before the race? This plan is designed to get you through the race and putting you in place to "enjoy" Couch Potato. The more prep you can put in before hand, the better you will feel throughout the race.

While designed around the use of a power meter, you can use heart rate or just perceived exertion to dial in these workouts and rides. After checking in with you after the first test, I will be available for future questions but will not adjust the schedule or make any changes.
