100 Mile MTB Race 12 Week Build Plan 40+ (Masters)

This plan is designed for people 40 or more years of age who want to compete in an 80-100 Mile MTB race. The build plan will prepare you for the demands of racing your mountain bike for 80-100 Miles. The plan assumes you have a strong aerobic fitness that is ready for high intensity workouts. Before starting this plan we recommend completing the 12 week 100 Mile MTB Race Base 40+ Masters Plan.

Start this plan 12 weeks before the start of your target race. Rest days are on Monday and Friday and rest weeks every three weeks. Designed to start on a Monday with shorter workouts on weekdays and longer workouts on weekends.

Workouts are written to use a power meter, a HR monitor or rate of perceived exertion, but using a power meter AND a HR monitor is best for accurate monitoring of progress. The plan includes structured workouts compatible with your smart trainer and device to guide you through workouts in real time.
