CX racing in Oregon lasts from September 8 through November 21. Ideally I would want to peak for State championships on Oct 9th and be “fresh” for the remainder of the weekend racing (since its a series w/ cumulative points) through Nov 21. Do I set up my training with “cyclocross intervals” ending the week of Oct 9 essentially “training through” all the races leading up to that weekend, or would I really start a “race and recover” starting Sept 8 ?
Also, what is the main difference between “cyclocross intervals” and “6 weeks to cyclocross” ?
@FRANK as a self coached athlete, strictly using all Fascat plans strung together. I’m trying to figure out how long a typical season would last? (I can already hear you say that is goal or A race dependent and how much time you have available ) The 5 CX plan progression you mention above are 6 weeks long which equates to about roughly 7,5 months / 30 weeks. Assuming 3 week of Fall Foundation then 10 week resistance would precede these plans, so a total of 11months, would you say this is the absolute max before having to take a break and do it all over again?
What would the same progression of plans compromise of for MTB XCM & XCO?
