The Gralloch Training Plan - Compete

About this plan

Targeting The Gralloch? This is the plan for it. 17 weeks, a solid 11.5 hours a week, every one of them built around a long, hard day on the bike rather than adapted from a template.

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 The Gralloch.

Common questions

Who is this plan for?

Anyone with The Gralloch on the calendar. It is written for a long, hard day on the bike, aimed at racing for a result, not just completing it, and it assumes you can train consistently at around 11.5 hours a week.

How much training does it involve?

Plan on 17 weeks and about 11.5 hours a week. It rises for a couple of weeks, then drops to let the work settle, rather than climbing endlessly until you break.
