About The MTB Marathon Training Plan
This plan is best applied ~12 weeks ahead of your goal of marathon race (>3hrs long). Ideally, you will have completed a general preparation or 'base' phase to establish fitness and cycling skills before this more specific block of training.
Is This Endurance Mountain Bike Training Plan For You?
This plan requires 7-12 hours per week in general. It provides numerous options to shorten and lengthen workouts and the weekly hours.
It is meant to prepare you for MTB events that are longer than 3 hours .

- Click here for the XCO (shorter MTB) Training Plan
This plan will get you fit but also make sure you are prepared technically, tactically, and logistically. It follows the same progressions and ideas I have used to help athletes get both 9 and 12-hour belt buckles.
What Does this MTB Training Plan Include?
- Endurance Tips or 'Beta' that are invaluable to avoid common mistakes and boost your results
- Structured Workout Downloads are included for *many* bike workouts ( for Garmin / Zwift Etc )
- Many Workouts that can be done indoors if desired/required
- Core routine and 1-2 weekly yoga sessions are provided and encouraged throughout the plan
- Workout Description with HR, Power and/or RPE - Flexible to your equipment and preferences
- Guidance and Options to shorten or extend workouts based on goals and availability
