Quebrantahuesos Training Plan

About this plan

The whole plan points at one thing: the Quebrantahuesos. Across 17 weeks and roughly 12 hours a week, it builds you toward a long, hard day on the bike with nothing in there that does not earn its place.

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 the Quebrantahuesos on the day it counts.
