100k Gravel Race Training Plan
This plan is designed to prepare you to complete a 100k gravel race. This plan is suitable for beginners and also experienced riders who are new to structured training. The workouts progress in intensity and duration throughout the plan to prepare you for race day. This plan is designed to make the most of your time spent riding through structured weekday workouts and a longer weekend endurance ride.
There are two key workouts per week and two optional workouts. Each week, key workouts include one structured interval workout that can be completed in an hour and one long ride. Every fourth week is a recovery week. The plan includes strength training and optional yoga videos. These are designed to support your stability and mobility on the bike to increase comfort when riding and reduce injury. The plan also includes guidance on developing your own nutrition plan for race day.
There are two versions of this plan. One that is best used with a power meter and one that goes by your Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) to gauge your effort. The plan includes personal live support for questions.
