About The Bikepacking Build Training Plan




This is a 10-12 week plan depending on how long your bike pack adventure is. It builds your specific fitness for a bikepacking adventure.

This plan has been used by people who have finished 1-2 week bikepacking trips, long weekend trips, and even higher intensity 'FKT' or fast-bike-packs.

Is This Bikepack Plan For You?

-
If you are planning something very extreme or very new and nervous about a first bikepacking trip then please consider a phone consultation and/or a custom 3-Month Training Plan to better address your ability and goals. (see below)

The plan ranges between 6-16 hours a week depending on whether you extend workouts and do optional workouts (or not!). Options to extend are are noted and are your description based on your schedule, fitness and goals.
