What training plans should I stack for my season

[Dave]

• Hello Lynda;
• Endurance racing, XC US Cup and CX

I am on the PR 50 Miler week 3 day 1,  I will complete the plan one week prior to the Counting Coup (44 mile, 8000 ft ascent) which is  April 6, can you plz suggest what I should do for the week prior to my race?

Can I switch the workouts around in the week, I don't always have 3 hrs on Thursdays for tempo but I do on Tuesdays, can I switch the cadence drills on Tuesdays & do Tempo and vise versa?  Or keep to plan..

I am interested in stacking plans for this yr:

After the CC, I would like to do some US Cups xc in SoCal and prepare for my A race Downieville Classic Race Aug 3-4.  I wasn't sure if the  Cat 1 plan would be good for me or if the Cat 1 plan is ok for Dville, there are 4 months in between the CC and my priority race D-ville.

Goal 1:

Priority race is the Downieville Classic August 3-4;

29 mile xc

17 mile super D,

Goals are to win age category, I have won in the past.

Goal 2 and Main goal:

Be strong for cyclocross season; which starts in September and to peak in December-January. Any suggestions for this..

Your plan is awesome so far and I love reading your forums for information.

Thanks so much for your plans..

• I recommend repeating week #6 to stretch your plan out another week.
• Switch the rides to fit your schedule.
• Category 1 Cross Country Mountain Bike Build, Peak and Race Training Plan is perfect for Downieville.
