Plan Description
This Volcanic Epic 2025 12-week specific preparation plan is for the master (40+) mountain biker with years of experience and racing under their belts who need to focus on quality over quantity.
Following the plan will grow your sustained power and adapt your body for the back-to-back demands of multi-day stage racing. The nature/execution of specific workouts also improves and maintains bike handling skills, reaction time, pedal efficiency and leg speed.
The plan is power-based. Weekday workouts can be executed on an indoor trainer. When the weather is favourable, weekend sessions and skill sessions should be ridden outdoors and exclusively on the mountain bike, and even if it is on the road/tar.
Fitness level: Master with a solid aerobic base and able to ride 3 to 4 hours over varied terrain in one go/ride.
When to start: 12 weeks before the event date, 26/03/2025.

The Plan Layout
Three blocks (plus one simulation week, two taper week and one race/event week.). First and second block has three weeks of specific workouts that vary in duration, intensity and frequency, and rest days. Week three is followed by a recovery week to shed accumulated fatigue and prevent overtraining and injury.
To optimize training, workouts are scheduled in a specific order to match expected fatigue, and allow for adequate recovery times based on workout intensity. Additionally, training nutrition and hydration guidance, and strength and flexibility exercises are included to enhance the overall quality of your workouts.
Day 1 of the plan starts with a functional threshold power test, and you will test and reset zones at least one more time as you progress through the program to ensure that you are training at the right level.
