Mountain Bike Pre-Season Power is an intermediate mountain biking program that runs 8 weeks at 4 sessions per week. It is built into Ægir Iron and free to load for individual lifters and for athletes on a coach's roster.
What this program is
An 8-week pre-season peaking block for mountain bikers. Four sessions per week combining strength, explosive power and reactive work from the first week, with heavy posterior-chain and single-leg emphasis, including Nordic curls, for sprints and descents. The reps drop from eight to five to three across three blocks.

How it works in Ægir Iron
Inside Ægir Iron the plan is real Cycle, Block, Week, Day structure. The 8 weeks are grouped into 3 blocks, and the sets, reps and effort targets change from one block to the next. Lifts carry RPE targets rather than percentages, and you choose the weight. If you would rather run a lift off a percentage of your max, switch that row to a percentage in the editor. You load it in a couple of taps, then adjust any session, and a coach can push it to an athlete's account in real time.
Start Mountain Bike Pre-Season Power
Open Ægir Iron, go to Program and choose New Program, then the Program Wizard. On the first screen pick your discipline, then choose Mountain Bike Pre-Season Power from the cards under WHAT DO YOU WANT TO RUN? It is free on iOS, Android, and the web, with your data synced across all three.
