One of the benefits of this plan is the ability to adapt it to your needs. You have the option to do the Endurance Rides on either your road, cross, or mountain bike.

This plan will take the experienced racer through their base training. This plan is designed for those who have flexible work/school schedules as there are some lengthy mid-week endurance rides. Additionally, this plan incorporates strength training and additional forms of cross training.

The plan starts with a Field Test week then 12 weeks of base training and strength training. During this plan endurance and efficiency are the focus.
