Thanks for the assistance so far. I'm starting week 3 of the Masters 40+ MTB Cross Country Build Peak and Race Training Plan this Monday (2/24), and everything is on track. My first (B priority) race will probably end up being on 5/10, which is one week after the scheduled finish of the current plan. Which week do you suggest repeating between now and the race?
Looking further ahead, I plan on starting the Masters 40+ MTB 100 Mile Personal Record Training Plan right after I complete the current plan. There will be a local 3/6/9 Hr race at the end of this plan's week 6 (race is on 6/21), and I was wondering which approach would be better; ride the 6 hour solo, or do the 9 as a duo/team? The team option would give me about five 40 ~ 45 minute laps.
