- Taper and Leg Openers included in the final week
Our Mt Evans Hill Climb [Colorado State Hill Climb Championships!] will help you climb your fastest time up this legendary 14'er. This training plan will have you ready for this lung-busting ascent!
The Mt. Evans Hill Climb is legendary for good reason and we want you to get to the start line well prepared. You'll start with a 20min Field Test to set your Functional Threshold Power and Heart Rate in the included FasCat Zones Sheet, then use your training zones to ride just hard enough to get faster & stronger without burning out so you can go hard again the next day! That means lots of Tempo and Sweet Spot as well as Threshold intervals during the week and group rides or other harder efforts on the weekends. And since this race starts at 7000 feet elevation, there's some high altitude climbing in there too to get you ready. Then you'll taper off so you have fast legs for race day!
Additionally, this training plan includes all the "marginal gains" details to get even faster: Recovery Techniques, Rest Days, Yoga, Foundations, and best of all, Strength and Conditioning - all you need is a physical therapy style rubber band and MOTIVATION! There are instructional videos in the plan for you to follow along at home.
