Still have questions about this plan?Plan Description
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 heart rate and perceived exertion to guide training intensity. A heart rate monitor is required. Heart rate zones are set with a field test in week one.
