This plan is designed with personal experience of training myself for many multi-day events, and of training others for them also. I raced as a professional in stage races all over Asia and in Oman and Qatar, and have completed four editions of the Mongolia Bike Challenge. I have trained two athletes for the Race Across America event, and several others for various other multi-day events.

This plan follows a 3 week on /1 week off pattern, so it's three weeks of dedicated training with 60-90 minute interval and hill work in the week, and longer rides on the weekend, the one week of a recovery / rest period, allowing the hard work to settle into the system, and to get you ready for another 3 week load.
In the first phase, we work on deepening your base with Z2 and Z3 work, with some forays into the higher zones (not just for fun, but to work on mental toughness too!). On the weekends we want to get you riding both days at or near the duration (and elevation) you plan to be doing in your event, but we need to build up to that.
By the end of the 6th week you will be able to feel the increase in strength, power and all-round fitness, and see the improvement in speed. Your ability to recover not just in-ride but post-ride (critical in multi-day events) will be increasing also, so that we can then push even harder in the 2nd half of the plan.
Just about anyone with a decent base of fitness can get through a 4 or 7 day event... what we want to do is to get your fitness up to such a level that you can actually enjoy the event, not suffer like a dog to get through it.
The plan comes with an info sheet explaining how it all works and how to make it work for your life, work, and environment. Before purchasing this, I recommend messaging me and we can arrange a call online, to go through any Qs you may have - this is free of charge.
Thanks for reading.
