The Plan.

Overarching 2026 training blocks for a successful MCA season and beyond.

Themes

These principles are what keep the training useful across different ability levels.

80-90% easy riding

Most of the work should feel sustainable enough to repeat week after week.

Races replace intensity

Use events as hard efforts rather than adding more hard work around them.

Consistency beats spikes

Regular training matters more than the occasional huge ride or big week.

Recovery is training

Rest and easy days are part of the plan, not time lost from it.

Month to month.
