Stacking of plans for B race before A race

[SteveP]

Hi:

I've been lucky enough to secure entry to the Leadville 100 MTB for the second year in a row. After finishing last year (and taking home my buckle!), I'm headed back this year with the goal of going all out.

I plan on completing the 100 mile MTB PR plan starting in mid-May and have a 'B' race (either solo 9 hr (preferred) or solo 6hr) planned for early May so that I can take a break before starting the PR plan.

Could you suggest the best plan for the period from now until my 'B' race? I've been in

I recommend following the Category 1 Cross Country Mountain Bike Build, Peak and Race Training Plan

This will build on the base you have established, increase your speed and prepare you perfectly for the 100 miler PR plan and Leadville. It is not perfect prep for a 9 hour solo race. I recommend choosing the 6 hour solo and riding it on fitness from the above plan.
