Cindy,
I recommend you follow the TIME CRUNCHED Category 1 Cross Country Mountain Bike Base Training Plan during the holidays.
Start the 100 km Mountain Bike Race – Personal Record Plan on 1/20/2014 and follow all 12 weeks to a peak at your first “A” race on 4/12. During this time rest a few days prior to any races you have and recover properly after each race before getting back on the training plan. Do not make up any missed sessions.
4/14 follow week #11 100 km Mountain Bike Race – Personal Record Plan
4/21 follow week #12 100 km Mountain Bike Race – Personal Record Plan to peak again for Whiskey 50.
4/28 take a week off plan for recovery
5/5 restart the 100 km Mountain Bike Race – Personal Record Plan at week #8 and follow it to a peak on June 7th
6/9 take a week off plan
6/16 do a recovery week
Then reassess your goal for the remainder of the season and re-plan out how to achieve them.
Lynda
