Base Phase 8 Week: Vol 1
The Base Phase is where every great mountain bike season begins. Eight weeks of structured aerobic development built around your own physiology, designed to build the engine that powers everything else. This is not easy training. It is purposeful training, and there is a significant difference.
Research consistently shows that elite mountain bike athletes average VO2max values above 68 ml per kg per minute. That level of aerobic capacity does not happen by accident. It is built systematically, over time, at the right intensities. The Base Phase gives you the exact framework to start building yours.
50 minute FatMax conditioning session targeting peak fat oxidation
Progressive threshold intervals building from 1 minute efforts to sustained 20 minute blocks
Full strength and conditioning programme using bodyweight and light load
Two planned deload weeks for adaptation and recovery
Max HR and RPE based intensity prescription, no lab testing required
Full coaching notes and session guidance throughout
