I worked backwards from my solo race date - i knew i wanted to do 10 laps = 160 km...
i knew when i started training, a 50 km mtb ride was tough...
so i added in miles each week for 4 months...
miles goal date
120.00 20-Aug
108.00 13-Aug
97.20 7-Aug
87.48 1-Aug
78.73 26-Jul
70.86 20-Jul
63.77 14-Jul
57.40 8-Jul
51.66 2-Jul
46.49 26-Jun
41.84 20-Jun
37.66 14-Jun
33.89 8-Jun
one day a week would be 30% that distance at a harder pace. and the weekends would be back to back days of that distance, followed by 50% of that distance (or viceversa depending on weather and schedules).
