Our tried and tested LW Coaching 6-Hour Solo Mountain Bike - Finisher training plan has been updated with TrainingPeaks structured workouts to make the most of both indoor and outdoor riding opportunities. For outdoor training, power (watts), TSS and IF targets can be downloaded to your Garmin. For indoor training, download your plan to your favorite Smart Trainer app such as Zwift, Rouvy or Trainer Road.
This 12 week plan is designed to prepare you to confidently and comfortably finish a 6-Hour Solo mountain bike event. Prior to starting this plan you should have been riding about 2-3 times per week and be confident riding off-road.
Six Hour Solo events are short enough to require speed and long enough to require endurance, pacing and fueling to be trained. This plan is a combination of these aspects designed to bring an athlete into peak fitness for a 6-Hour solo event.
Each ride on Sunday has a specific focus to practice and prepare pacing, fueling, hydration, electrolyte balance, cadence and race specific skills. By race day you will have solid fitness and a solid race plan.
The plan uses power or heart rate or perceived exertion to guide training intensity. A heart rate monitor or power meter are not required but can be used with the plan.
