20 Week Haute Route / Gran Fondo Plan
About this plan
The whole plan points at one thing: Haute Route / Gran Fondo. Across 21 weeks and roughly 14 hours a week, it builds you toward a long, hard day on the bike with nothing in there that does not earn its place.
Three weeks up, ease back, repeat: that rhythm is what makes the fitness stick. Intensity is rationed rather than sprayed around, every target reads off your own FTP and threshold power, and the plan gives your endurance, your climbing and the way you put the power down the attention each one needs.
Held to from the first week, it will have you ready for Haute Route / Gran Fondo on the day it counts.
