Plan Description
“Training for excellence, with excellent training.”
When you have completed the Heaphy Track by mountain bike you will have accomplished something very special.
Designed for Intermediate Mountain Bikers who are looking to improve their fitness before riding the Heaphy Track, the primary goal of this training plan is to prepare you to ride the Heaphy Track comfortably.
Crafted by myself, Ray Boardman PGDipSportsMed, PGDipRehab, PGCertSc (Exercise Science), BSc (Anatomy), DipSportsStudies this plan encapsulates my passion for the sport, my experience from completing dozens of mountain bike missions and my success coaching hundreds of triathletes, cyclists and adventure racers.
This is an 8 week programme that can start at any time, this plan progresses through phases to build you to your peak performance. Each week typically contains 4x bike rides (two recommended as mountain bike rides, the other two can be done on either a road bike or mountain bike). You will build up to doing a couple of long rides on back to back days in the weekend. Although not necessary, I recommend using a heart rate monitor in conjunction with a GPS watch (such as a Garmin).
Prior to using this plan, you should be able to ride comfortably for 2 hours.
Purchase of this plan gives you access to my fortnightly coaching calls where you can ask me any training or racing related questions.
