• 6-week cross-country interval training plan 
• Endurance mountain bike hammer rides, VO2's, threshold, diabolical tabatas, and race starts to prepare you to crush your goal race!
  

This 6-week cross-country interval training plan begins by working on your race start and quickly moves into Zone 6 Anaerobic interval workouts. Because XC Mountain Biking is all about short (20 second - 1 minute) anaerobic power output! 

There are endurance mountain bike hammer rides on the weekend for endurance training and technical skills practice. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays are for 1 minuters, VO2’s, threshold and the diabolical Tabatas.

• This plan will put you on the start line prepared to crush some massive climbs!
• Tempo, SS & Threshold intervals during the week + group rides and/or harder efforts on the weekend

Whether it's Strava PR's or a race with some serious vertical gain, this six week climbing training plan will put you on the start line well prepared. You'll start with a 20min Field Test to set your Functional Threshold Power and Heart Rate, then use your training zones to ride just hard enough to get faster & stronger without burning out so you can go hard again the next day! That means lots of Tempo and Sweet Spot as well as Threshold intervals during the week and group rides or other harder efforts on the weekends.
