Plan Description

Thanks for checking out one of my training plans! I'd love to start working with you.



This plan is intended to precede any of the event-specific plans. Repeat this plan until you start your event-specific plan.

Bike choice can be customized to your event: primarily ride MTB if you are preparing for Leadville and a gravel bike if preparing for UNBOUND 200 or STMBT GRVL.

This plan will develop a strong foundation upon which you can build to your event. During this 5-week block, training sessions will target the full range of of the duration-intensity curve. Even though your event will primarily call upon the aerobic system, most events include some periods of higher intensity and the ability to tolerate repeated hard efforts.


Why Buy From Me?



  • Detailed, flexible plan from elite-level, experienced coach (35+ years)
  • Strength & Conditioning guidance for off-the-bike training
  • Re-use your plan multiple times
  • Use your workouts in apps such as Zwift for indoor training
