Instead, expect to be slightly less physically capable on the days when soreness is at its highest. It is important to note that range of motion and soreness may inhibit some movements, so take it easy and work into your training/riding before pushing to a maximum limit. This is not a “split routine” as you might see in a basic bodybuilding program though. The way the programs are written encourages different muscle groups to be worked during different training sessions. Training or riding with DOMS is ok within reason. It does get better and you will, one day, crave that feeling again, we promise. Our advice is to persist and work through it, but reduce the number of reps and/or the weight on movements. Known as DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) this is often something that hinders and worries people. It is likely you will be more sore 2 days after any heavy or high volume work in the gym. This is a natural indicator of how well you are coping with the volume of training. In the early stages of your MTB training plan, or if you are coming back to it, you will be sore. People cope with volume differently to one another so here are some thing to consider… Training volume is a term we use for the amount of work you are doing in a given week, if the volume is higher than you can manage there are some symptoms to look out for. It’s no good grinding yourself down every day and never having chance to recover. It’s important that any MTB training plan is structured with possible variation within it. This will give you more time to recover from any soreness and allow for better riding. I suggest you do the most physically demanding and impactful work early in the week – things like heavy squats and deadlifts and capacity based work towards the latter half. With that in mind, consider the impact of your training on your riding, especially on the weekend priority rides. We will presume everyone will be prioritising their weekend riding, if this is a different day simply use the protocol in the same format but adjust the days to suit you.
