Plan Description
about the Plan
This plan is for Intermediate riders doing the Leadville 100 Trail Mountain Bike Race. It starts on January 1st and ends on the event date each year. It is designed so that you can start in Feb or March. Getting started earlier tends to be better but if you are fit and healthy starting the plan 3 months out from the race would be great and there are notes for those joining the plan late at the beginning of each block.
Is this Plan for You?
This plan is for Intermediate and the Leadville 100 Trail Mountain Bike Race. It will get you fit but also make sure you are prepared technically, tactically, and logistically. It follows the same progressions and ideas I have used to help athletes get both 9 and 12-hour belt buckles.
-
Note this plan finishes on the August Leadville Event Weekend and can not be shifted for other events so If you are looking for a plan for another 100 miler or long race please see my 100 miler 3 Month Build plan
The plan requires about 6-8 hours in shorter weeks up to 12-15+ hours in longer weeks. The workouts suggest a range that you choose based on your daily availability and your baseline fitness.
What Does It Include?
1) General Core/Yoga Sessions and Walking are included and encouraged
2) Tips/Notes to help you prepare to succeed. A large percentage of success at long endurance events is due to good preparation. Fitness is important but many a race is lost due to pacing, nutrition or technical/tactical errors.
3) RANGES - The workouts suggest a range that you choose based on your daily availability, your fitness and your goals.
4) Downloadable Workouts - This plan has structured downloadable workouts (e.g. for Zwift/Garmin) but as the race approaches there are fewer as you are expected to be outside exploring and working on your pacing so a download file is redundant if not distracting from the goal of your workouts.
Workouts will use Heart Rate, Power and RPE (feeling) as appropriate. All Structured downloads use power but are not required to complete the plan.
