TCC Training

[nos]

Hello guys. I am now in my period of quality and this is what I am doing (first week of quality training based on TCC book). I want to do SS and CR separately for 2 months:


Mon: 1hr @ Endurance Milles + 3x3' Cimbing Repeats [2'RBI]
Tue: 2hr @ Endurance Milles or Free MTB
Wed: 2hr @ Endurance Milles + 3x6' SteadyState [3'RBI]
Thurs: 2hr @ Endurance Milless or Free MTB
Fri: 1hr @ Endurance Milles + 10' Tempo
Sat: 3hr free with MTB @ Endurance Milles
Sun: Rest day or Recovery Ride


My idea is to increase the time of the series every week, for example, the next week are "Mon: 1hr @ Endurance Milles + 3x4' Cimbing Repeats [2'RBI]". A friend of mine has told me that to do this time of SS and CR is little, it's true?. I also want to alternate free outputs ...

After 2 months, I want to do OU (CR-IM) and PIs during 1 month.


What do you think about this?


Thanks in advance.


Kind regards.

Only you can decide if it is too much or too little.
What is your objective and how will you know when you get there?

My objective is 23 April. Is a Marathon of XC: 80km with 2100m .

As above - I don't really understand what you are doing or why, but 1hr rides at endurance pace sound like a bit of a waste of training time, even with the 3x3min hill repeats. Just nine minutes of intensity in a 1hr session seems a waste...

What is ideal then?. Thanks.

1hr at threshold pace would be more useful than 1hr at endurance. Save the endurance work for longer rides.

1hr at threshold pace would be more useful than 1hr at endurance. Save the endurance work for longer rides.

For example, for the first week:

Mon: 1hr @ Endurance Milles + 3x4' Cimbing Repeats [2'RBI]
Tue: 2hr @ Endurance Milles or Free MTB
Wed: 2hr @ Endurance Milles + 3x8' SteadyState [4'RBI]
Thurs: 2hr @ Endurance Milless or Free MTB
Fri: 1hr Tempo
Sat: 3hr free with MTB @ Endurance Milles
Sun: Rest day or Recovery Ride


Better this?
