What type of endurance racing are you training for? I can post up a pretty detailed and informative link thats targetted towards 12 and 24 hour racing.

Here are some general workouts that you can do. The duration and intensity will be up to you and your fitness.

Nice thanks. Im not sure which type of endurance training I will be doing, but I know Im doing it wrong now. I dont feel im getting any stronger.
We are signed up for 24 hrs of Old Pueblo in Feb, although we may have to back out for scheduling reasons.

not MTB specific but still interesting:

I'm doing my first solo 24hr in august and would love any info like that.

Heres a very good link thats worth a read for 12 and 24 hour racing, you might need to change around some of the numbers though, i think they may be for 12 hour road racing, because i dont think any first timer would do 192 miles in their first 12 hour solo, more like 90 or 100 depending on the course i think.

It has good stuff about general training theory though, well worth a read.
