La Marmotte Training Plan

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 12 hours a week, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

Every target is set as a percentage of your own FTP and threshold power, so it fits you and not some average athlete. The weeks climb and then ease in three-week blocks, and across them your endurance, your climbing and the way you put the power down are trained in balance.

Held to from the first week, it will have you ready for La Marmotte on the day it counts.
