MTB Staging racing is in our opinion one of the most fun and rewarding MTB race events you can enter. However, the fun doesn’t mean easy, it is also one of the hardest events. The fatigue accumulated over multiple days of racing can catch up with you fast and make the suffering that much harder to get to the finish line. It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned racer or just getting started, our MTB Stage Race Training Plans will prepare you for the demands of multi-day stage races. Also, check our MTB Stage Race Strategy.

Our MTB Stage Race Training Plans are ready to go, pre-packaged and $99.00 each. Each plan is delivered online via the TrainingPeaks website and mobile app. This plan is best for anyone who can follow the training schedule with little help and does not need workout or race analysis. Workout and race analysis can be purchased separately, or check out the Personal Coaching. For the best results stack the Conditioning (optional), Base, and Build plans for a total of 24-30 weeks of training.

These plans are perfect for races such as Breck Epic 6 and 3 days, TransRockies Classic, Moab Rocks, Transylvania Epic, Single Track 6, Pisgah Stage Race, BC Bike Race, Trans Alps, Swiss Epic, Trans Andes, and Cape Epic.
