XCM Marathon Mountain Bike Training Plan - Finisher

About this plan

This plan is built for XCM Marathon Mountain Bike, start to finish. It is shaped around marathon mountain bike distance, running 24 weeks at a lean 6.4 hours a week, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

Every target is set as a percentage of your own FTP and threshold power, so it fits you and not some average athlete. The weeks climb and then ease in three-week blocks, and across them your endurance, your climbing and the way you put the power down are trained in balance.

Held to week after week, it is designed to get you across the line in good shape on the day you race XCM Marathon Mountain Bike.
