SHORT XC MTB, CYCLOCROSS OR CRITERIUM EVENTS OF 30 TO 90 MINUTES.
This Race Prep plan trains the short high-powered energy systems of Anaerobic Power and Vo2 Max for the repeated power demands of fast & furious racing. This Race Prep plan has you in peak form in just 6 weeks, and can be repeated for frequent racing.
POWER IS THE NAME OF THE GAME.
Following a your base training, top-end power can be cultivated quickly through four weeks of training focused on maximizing your anaerobic capacity and maximal oxygen uptake. Aerobic endurance training is kept to a minimum to allow for maximum speed!
SYSTEMS TRAINED:
Anaerobic Power
Training repeatable bouts of your maximum 1:00 – 4:00 power increases your anaerobic capacity and fast twitch muscle fiber recruitment. Repeatability and durability is the name of the game.
Vo2 Max
Intervals of 2:00 – 4:00 duration at your maximum 8:00 – 16:00 power capability (~ 112-124% FTP) targets your Vo2 Max system for superior oxygen delivery to your working muscles.
REPEATABLE PROGRESSION FOR FREQUENT RACING.
With 4-weeks of high-intensity training followed by a 2-week Race Prep taper, our shortest duration Race Prep plan allows for frequent racing (as often as bi-weekly or weekly). With peak performances every 6 weeks you can make the most of a compact racing series or season of 6 to 12 weeks.
