BC Bike Race is a legendary seven-day mountain bike stage race for a reason; sick trails! North Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast are renowned World wide for their technical purpose built, thriller single track.

The stages of BC are mostly mid distance for duration and require more top end fitness. The physicality will really reward those who have build up their all around toughness physical fitness and technical game!

Key elements of this plan are:
-power and heart rate based workouts
- stage race block training with successive multi day builds
-All important strength conditioning for testing drops and days of rough single track.

As the race approaches to a 10 day taper, volume reduces and sharp short workouts come into to play. Unique to this plan is that it incorporates more off single track based workouts and skills drills. My custom post ride muscular endurance training is one of the many pro tricks that will have you smiling instead of crushed at then end of a grueling race week.

Considerations: This plan is for highly trained individuals with full time work week but allows for a couple extended weekend training camps like a 4 day long weekend in week 8 and an occasional training race. This plan accommodates c level preparation races to hone races skills and speed. If you decide add a race then skip the hardest workout of the weekend and know that you may race tired but this is the stuff of good stage race prep.
