Haute Route Training Plan - Compete

About this plan

The whole plan points at one thing: Haute Route. Across 17 weeks and roughly 16.1 hours a week, it builds you toward a long, hard day on the bike with nothing in there that does not earn its place.

The load builds in three-week blocks and then backs off, so the work actually lands instead of burying you. The hard sessions are dosed the way the research says fitness is built, never piled on as junk volume, and your endurance, your climbing and the way you put the power down all get their turn.

Follow it properly and the aim is clear: have you racing at the sharp end at Haute Route.
