I was referring to marathon training.
As far as mountain climbing, take a page from Lance Armstrong. DId a training ride up Alp'DHuez (a grueling, twising, long climb which is miles long). Came down and said to his coach "I didn't get it. I need to do it again". (paraphrasing a bit).

So, he did it again. NOW THAT'S TRAINING!!!

WHen you have your mountain bike base ( if you don't already), perhaps you could find a shorter, more intense hill to do repeats on. Let us know how that goes.
