It’s summertime! Happy 4th of July to our American listeners. We’ve been on the road all spring with our WE Development XCO race team and now we finally have time get to caught back up on the podcast.
A busy spring has knocked us off our training progressions a bit and has made maintaining training consistency challenging for us this year. I’m sure many of our listeners can relate to professional and lifestyle obligations disrupting our training plans; so we’re here in this episode to discuss the final 4-6 weeks in your training build, prior to beginning your taper towards your A-event. Have no fear! …Even if training has been inconsistent or a bit less than what you’ve planned for, there is still time to pull it together and build some BIG fitness for your summer events.
SPOILER ALERT: The key workouts include Threshold Training (and the TWO thresholds we should be training) and the LONG ride.
We’ll share our polarized training approach for the final block of Race Prep training to prioritize and accomplish before your event-taper to help you achieve a peak performance!
This exact progression of Threshold Training can be found in our new for 2022 v4.0 Race Prep Training Plan downloadable from the Training Peaks Plan Store:
