Plan Description

Guts. Grit. Determination. This is it. The granddaddy of Mountain Bike Races. "You're better than you think you are, you can do more than you think you can." - Ken Chlouber, Founder of the Leadville 100

This is the most comprehensive Leadville 100 MTB plan available. Period. Finishing this race demands that you do more than ride your bike. You have to forge mental toughness and develop physical strength too.

This is the only plan to incorporate a full ride schedule and a strength plan from January through race day. That's 32 weeks of training.

And if you want, I'll even throw in my 16-week Performance Psychology training plan (the only dedicated mental skills plan on TP) for free so you can dial in your mental game as well. Just email me and I'll get you the discount code.

If you want to cross the Leadville 100 MTB a changed person, this is your ultimate guide.
