How to prepare: 12-week plan

Phases are expressed in weeks before the race: we will add exact dates as soon as the organizer confirms the day.

  1. 12 to 8 weeks out
    Endurance

    Long, steady rides in zone 2, building the weekend long ride up to 4 hours. Dial in bike fit and on-bike fuelling.

  2. 7 to 4 weeks out
    Climbing and threshold

    8-20 minute climbing intervals near threshold and rides with race-like elevation. Check your gearing: hold at least 70-80 rpm on the climbs.

  3. 3 to 2 weeks out
    Simulation

    One ride close to race length with race-day fuelling plan, bike and kit.

  4. last week
    Taper

    Short rides with a few efforts, bike serviced and tyres checked. Rest and carbs in the last two days.
