Answer 1

The key to endurance training is to start your training riding for the amount of time it will take to complete the course you want to do, with very little resistance. Over time, keep the daily training duration constant while gradually increasing the resistance.

On this program you do not need to ride the course every day (a few times a week is sufficient), but you must complete the course every time, regardless of how much it hurts (unless you think your going to tear a muscle, then stop, elevate, cool and rest overnight).

The reaching of your goal will depend on the kind of terrain the actual course is like, and what equipment you'll be using. Don't use a BMX to do the Tour de France, or a racer to go offroad, and if the gradient of incline is alpine you will need a lot more time to train than on a flat, level, sealed surface.

If you are training for professional competition then you need to compare your fitness with the training regime other competitors are subjected to, in addition to the above. Also you can compare to how competitors handled the course in previous events, by watching archived video recordings.

The most important thing is diet. Ask any professional athlete, and the first piece of advice is almost always ...
"I get out what I put in." ie. If i put diesel in my rocket and try to blast off, the astronauts end up with a small fire on the take off pad for reheating their sausage and egg McMuffins. With rocket fuel ... To tha moon, Cap. Now where did I leave my organic tofu salad?
