Plan Description

Have you ever wondered what it would take to compete on race day? Whether you're looking to smash your first race experience or move up the leaderboard, I've got you covered.


If you are currently riding a few times per week, or putting in big miles on the weekend, and are looking to take the next step in your mountain bike journey, this plan is for you. It includes structured workouts (that sync with your watch or cycling computer) to increase your threshold power, maximize fitness gains, and continue to build on the fundamental skills you’ve already developed. And it includes a FREE TrainingPeaks Premium account - that's a $20/month value, on me. Just make sure to include your email address when signing up so I can set up your Premium account.

  1. Expert guidance and training from one of the most experienced coaches in the business:
    • USAC (USA Cycling) Level 1 Coach

    • XPT (Extreme Performance Training) certified coach
    • 11 years National Team Coach for U.S. Paralympic Cycling
    • 4 years USAC Western Region Jr. MTB Development Camp Coach
