This Transition Phase plan is designed for High Performance Enduro riders training 12-18 hours per week. Most training days include cardiovascular and either strength training or mobility.

High Performance programs are ideal for athletes with a training history greater than 5 years, and who are comfortable with both a higher training load and more technical lifting in the gym.

The transition phase focuses on recovery from the prior season. Strength training is catered to those who require a physical reset to address the issues and imbalances that linger following a full season of riding and racing. Gym sessions are not extremely intense, however they are consistent and step-loading protocols are the best fit for most athletes.

Cardiovascular training includes Zone 2 riding and cross training. While VO2max will be the focal point for many athletes later in the year, the Transition phase is a deliberate reset and athletes should anticipate a slight regression in this area.

Skill work is deliberate and focused, and more consistent than with amateur programs. World class basics are the focal point.

While not included within the scope of this program, nutrition guidance supports a return to whole foods and consistent hydration, while equipment checks include bike servicing and cockpit adjustments.

Recovery habits like sleep hygiene and yoga are reinforced. Mental training encourages reflection, journaling, and resetting motivation. Ideal for riders coming off a race block or long season who need to recharge before entering the Base Phase.
