The Gralloch Training Plan
About this plan
The whole plan points at one thing: The Gralloch. Across 17 weeks and roughly 10 hours a week, it builds you toward a long, hard day on the bike with nothing in there that does not earn its place.
Three weeks up, ease back, repeat: that rhythm is what makes the fitness stick. Intensity is rationed rather than sprayed around, every target reads off your own FTP and threshold power, and the plan gives your endurance, your climbing and the way you put the power down the attention each one needs.
Follow it as written and you will arrive at The Gralloch genuinely ready, not just hopeful.

Plan on 17 weeks and about 10 hours a week. It rises for a couple of weeks, then drops to let the work settle, rather than climbing endlessly until you break.
How is the plan delivered?
You buy it once and it lands in your TrainingPeaks account, every session spelled out in plain words with the reason it is there, ready to start straight away.
