What’s the optimal day of the week to start the program? Is it a Monday start? Most of our CX races are on Sundays through the season, so I’m looking to base the program around Sunday race day as a general rule…

The plan is setup for Week 1 Day 1 to start on a Monday. Depending on your location, you could have a cross season that is all on Saturdays or one that is all on Sundays. The plan starts on Monday and gives the racer the option of moving Saturday’s workout to Sunday if the race is on Saturday or the opposite. Most CAT4/5 or “B” races are 30-45 minutes. Some of our athlete’s race and then execute the endurance ride to further build fitness.
