I’m finishing up the Masters Base Plan, and would like to start a new plan, but I’m really not sure which one. I don’t race, I don’t have a set event that I’m working towards, rather I hope to have many challenging rides every possible weekend from now til December. I want to be a stronger rider. My biggest challenge is climbing, whether it’s short, steep hills or long, steep, but steady, climbs. I want to have more power, more stamina, and enough speed to not get dropped or be dfl, and stay as injury-free as possible.
A long ride for me means a group ride in the mountains traversing 20-35 miles of singletrack with 2500-4400′ of climbing, if that helps.
I suppose I want to ride like a racer, without being in a formal race, if that makes sense. I’m usually the only woman on my rides, and I’d like to be able to hang. Is it possible, and, if so, how?
Thanks!
Robina,
It sounds to me like you have a lot of fun on your bike! Being fit and fast can add to that joy. You don’t need to race to have bike performance goals!
I recommend you stay with our Masters training plan series and follow on with the Masters 40+ Cross Country Mountain Bike Build Peak and Race Mountain Bike Training Plan this training plan will build speed and power and includes strength maintenance sessions to keep your body a strong injury-free machine.
