Plan Description


This 3 Month training plan has been used successfully by adult athletes preparing for Mountain Bike Stage Race like:
- Quebec Singletrack Experience (QSE)
- Trans-Rockies or Single-Track 6
- La-Ruta
- BC-Bike-Race (BCBR)
- Pisgah Stage Race



Is This Plan For You?
The plan runs for approximately 3 months, providing specific preparation, ideally after completing a general or 'base' phase.

Weekly hours range from ~5 hours in rest weeks up to ~12-14hrs in biggest weeks. Options are provided to extend or reduce time and to deal with indoor vs. outdoor
-
Many workouts have downloadable workouts for smart trainers or bike computer but some are focused on outdoors when the workout should be simple (E.g. ride mtb for 3 hours).
-
Weekend workouts are best on mtb/offroad when possible and climbing is encouraged (most stage races are hilly!)



What Does It Include?
-
Includes short strength workouts throughout plan to prepare for demands of stage racing off-road. These are short and can be done 'anywhere'. Includes a PDF for each strength workout.
-
Please ensure you apply to the correct date to allow for your race days to match the race days in the plan - adjustments can be done by booking a phone consult at www.calendly.com/smartathlete
