La Marmotte Training Plan - Compete

About this plan

This plan is built for La Marmotte, start to finish. It is shaped around a long, hard day on the bike, running 17 weeks at a big 13.8 hours a week, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

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.

Held to week after week, it is designed to have you racing at the sharp end on the day you race La Marmotte.

How much training does it involve?
