This is our 3 month training plan for The Leadville 100 Mile MTB race. This plan is the final months of critical preparation for this challenging race.
Our three-month Leadville plan is packed with not just workouts, but also so many training concepts and race week specifics drawn from the many clients we have helped earn their belt buckle over the years!
This plan is for Intermediate and advanced riders doing the Leadville 100 Trail Mountain Bike Race
It is designed to be started 3 months out from Leadville MTB. This plan will get you fit but also make sure you are prepared technically, tactically, and logistically. It follows the same progressions and ideas I have used to help athletes get both 9 and 12-hour belt buckles. For goals under 9 hours, I would suggest looking at coaching or a custom 3-month plan.
The plan requires about 6-8 hours in shorter weeks up to 12-15 hours in longer weeks. The workouts suggest a range that you choose based on your daily availability and your baseline fitness.
Weekly/monthly notes are included to help you prepare to succeed. A large percentage of success at long endurance events is due to good preparation. Fitness is important but many a race is lost due to pacing, nutrition or technical/tactical errors.
