About This Plan
The grueling 75-mile Tour of the Battenkill event is considered one of the toughest one-day races around, with over 5000 feet of climbing, many dirt and gravel sections, and lots of steep, punchy climbs. Whether you're trying to win the race, win your age group, or beat your own personal record, this plan will taper you to your best Battenkill ever!
The plan is designed for an intermediate/advanced cyclist who already has a general base fitness and is ready to step up the hours, time, and intensity to prepare for this exciting event. It contains three specific training cycles with testing throughout and an event taper at the end. The progressive workouts include fatigue resistance, micro intervals, and double workouts to push you to your peak! There are also tons of training and event tips, plus a free nutrition eBook.
