      Hi Lynda

      Using the Category 1 Cross Country Mountain Bike Base Training Plan.  Currently in Week 6.  I have a 3 hour mtb race that I would like to take part at the end of the week.

      Can I include this in the plan as the 3:30 ride or should I give it a miss?  If I were to include it should I alter my week load?  Your advice would be great.

      Thanks

      Rusty,

      Do the race – that will be great. Don't make any changes to the plan leading into the event. The week after the event, if you are still tired on week #7 day 3, miss out the intervals and add another rest day. Other than that, the race will fit in nicely as training.
