Hi guys, My main goal for the year is the UK hill climb championship and races to qualify for it. These events are normally only 3-5min. So what plan would people suggest to follow as it’s too short for a TT plan and too high intensity for a mountain fondo plan? Something left of field like a crit plan? 🤷 ---

Most of the plans are for longer races, how about building your own schedule with the building blocks? Multiple MAP blocks with some AC/NM blocks (for starts and super steep bits) And don’t forget to strip anything non-essential from your bike! ---

Some great ideas. I like the idea of getting wahoo workouts to come into my head unit. Might have to tailor my own plan a bit though ---
