Overview This training plan is designed to prepare you for an endurance mountain bike event on a course with varied terrain, including singletrack, gravel roads, forest sections, and obstacles. The plan emphasizes endurance, technical skills, strength, and recovery. Given the winter season in Canada, it incorporates indoor training options and strategies to manage colder weather conditions. Training assumes you are currently riding at least 3-4 times per week.
Key Focus Areas:
• Endurance: Build stamina to ride continuously for extended periods.
• Technical Skills: Improve handling on singletrack, obstacles, and varied terrain.
• Strength and Power: Develop the ability to tackle climbs and accelerate when needed.
• Winter Adaptation: Incorporate indoor training, fat biking, or other cold-weather strategies.
• Recovery: Ensure adequate rest and active recovery to prevent overtraining.
