This training plan was written by 2-time K2 champion and NZ representative Dr Emma O'Connor (Crum).
This 12-week plan is designed to prepare you to target a sub-7 hour ride at the K2 Cycle Classic. This is recommended for athletes starting in groups 4-11. During the 12 weeks, you will develop your endurance capacity and hill climbing ability.
I have been racing, studying and coaching endurance sports for my entire adult life. For me, endurance training isn't an afterthought or a chore, it's a way of life.
Early mornings, blisters, afternoon naps, getting excited about the latest Garmin release, that's who I am.
