Plan Description
This 16-week plan focuses on building a base of strong fitness for the MTB-focused rider.
Each week, a blend of programmed interval workouts and MTB rides will help you build fitness and improve your skills. The programmed workouts work great with a smart-trainer, but also have step-by-step instructions for you to follow on your device of choice when riding outdoors.
There are no excuses when it comes to getting your core work, foam rolling and other off-the-bike workouts done: this plan has daily follow-along videos to make it easy to execute this important work. Balance- and skill-focused bonus workouts are also included!
In order to maximize the value of this training, you should have 8+ weeks of training in your legs before you start this plan. You should train with a power meter and heart rate monitor, and an indoor bike trainer (ideally a smart trainer). The bike workouts in this plan are programmed with power-based training zones, and are compatible with Zwift and similar connected apps.
