ADVENTURE RACING

Adventure Racing training plans, built for your goal

Adventure racing rewards durability over raw speed — a team that navigates efficiently and keeps moving for hours beats one that's faster but makes route errors or blows up early. SportBlox builds your adventure racing training plan around your race format, disciplines and current level.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like navigation decisions under fatigue, transitioning smoothly between disciplines, pacing a multi-hour effort and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

Works with Strava

Connect Strava and your logged sessions feed back into pacing and progression.

For coaches

FAQ

Adventure Racing training plan FAQ

How does it balance three or more disciplines in one plan?

It weights sessions toward whichever discipline is your weakest relative to your race's format, rather than splitting time evenly by default.

Do I need trail and mountain bike access to train?

It helps, but the plan substitutes road running and stationary biking with technical drills if you flag limited access.

Is this suitable for a first adventure race?

Yes, set your race format and skill level and the plan builds a conservative, balanced base across disciplines.

Does it work with Strava?

Yes, connect Strava across your running and cycling activities and they feed back into progression.

Can it build toward a specific race date?

Yes, add your race as an event and the plan periodises toward it, tapering the final week.
