Show WASATCH ions MOUNTAIN TIMES A Lifestyle estas Shape Up for Bicycling by Abi Wright Most trails are still too wet or snowy for mountain biking. It is the perfect time to start a pre-season training program to get in shape to ride. This is designed to give a basic program to condition for mountain biking. As with any workout program, tailor it to your own needs and time limits. And if you have health concerns, check with your doctor. When to start: Begin your conditioning at least six weeks before you hit the trails. (Four weeks is acceptible. Any training is better than none.) How many times a week? Work on aerobic intervalls three days a week, with a day of non-aerobics in between. Also, include two days a week for weight training. For example: Monday: Tuesday: aerobic intervals weights — focus on legs but include upper body. aerobic intervals weights aerobic intervals Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Aerobic Intervalls on your bike: Since the trails are still wet, you can do your interval work on a stationary bike or take you mountain bike out on nice, dry days. You don’t have to use intervals to train for mountain biking, but it's helpful for two reasons. First, mountain biking is similar to interval work because it incorporates hard uphills and lighter aerobic work on the downhill. Secondly, intervals quickly help increase your cardiovascular endurance.

Generally, to improve, you should work 20-60 minutes, three days a week, exclusive of warm-up, cool-down and _ stretching. Remember to start slowly and gradually increase the intervals. For example, work 20 minutes at intervals during week one. Work 25 minutes in week two. Week one - sample interval session warm up and stretch - 10 minutes 2 minutes - moderate interval 2 minutes - high intensity 3 minutes - moderate 3 minutes - high intensity 4 minutes - moderate 4 minutes - high intensity 2 minutes - moderate 2 minutes - high intensity cool down and stretch - 15 minutes It Determining your intensity: There are a variety of ways to determine the intensity at which you're working. One way to determine intensity is to monitor your working heart rate in relation to your maximum heart rate.

Age predicated max heart rate tables often use 220-minus-your age to determine your max heart rate in beats per minute Then multiply your max heart rate by the desired intensity.

How to set up an interval schedule: There is no magic in the times you select for intervals. You may find what works for you by changing the amount of time you spend at the moderate or high intensity intervals. For mountain biking many have found that equal time at moderate and high intensity intervals is beneficial. Making the high intensity as long as the moderate intervals simulates the longer periods of the uphill climb.
