I think he simply means what training plan or structure should he follow leading up to his race ...

i realise this, but what is the choice from? personally, i think everyone should choose my training and coaching plans, but is that too obvious an answer!

I want to know at what elements of training should I focus on
should I do long intervals on example 10 minutes
or maybe better do more rides in a constant pace

Hi Pikus,
You're not really giving us a lot to go on... what are your strengths and weaknesses, what sort of MTB race is this (i don't know of any this long), is it massed start, is it technical, can you currently ride for 6 continuous hours, what is your fitness like?
in general, to increase your fitness you need to increase your lactate threshold, and your VO2max. You also need to be able ride for the duration of the event, and need to have the technical skills that are required for off-road riding.
Thus, you need to do some long rides every so often, some shorter endurance rides at a brisker pace on a regular basis, some long intervals (i recommend in general 1 to 4 x 15 to 30-mins, once or twice a week), plus shorter intervals of around 4-mins.
obviously, the specifics, will be dependent upon the answer to some of the above questions. and depending how specific an answer you want may or may not determine whether you need some formal coaching or not.
