Plan Description
Our tried and tested LW Coaching 50 mile Mountain Bike - Finisher training plan has been updated with TrainingPeaks structured workouts to make the most of both indoor and outdoor riding opportunities. For outdoor training, power (watts), TSS and IF targets can be downloaded to your Garmin. For indoor training, download your plan to your favorite Smart Trainer app such as Zwift, Rouvy or Trainer Road.
This 12 week plan is designed to prepare you to confidently and comfortably finish a 50 mile distance mountain bike event. Prior to starting this plan you should have been riding about 2-3 times per week and be confident riding off-road.
50 mile events are short enough to require speed and long enough to require endurance, pacing and fueling to be trained. This plan is a combination of these aspects designed to bring an athlete into peak fitness for a 50 mile distance event.
The plan uses heart rate and perceived exertion to guide training intensity. A heart rate monitor is required. Heart rate zones are set with a field test in week one.
