The key to a successful gravel training plan is building a strong aerobic base, and we will maintain this with long training rides based upon the volume you have available.

Now that you are within a couple months of your event and your aerobic base is firmly set, we will focus on building your ability to maintain power above threshold with VO2Max training, as well as some High Torque work to manage the unique demands of gravel. You will also benefit from short, high-intensity intervals to develop your anaerobic capacity.

As your event approaches, we will shift the emphasis of your training to gravel-specific workouts, incorporating sessions with frequent surges and punchy climbs to mimic the variable terrain of gravel races. We will ensure you can quickly recover from efforts.

Lastly, we will be sure to taper your training in the final weeks to arrive at the start line fresh and ready to perform.
