A high-country climbing day
Typical sessions
Nearly 10,000 ft of climbing in under 90 miles, a huge climbing density for the distance
Altitude that thins the air and caps your power on every ascent
Chunky, loose rock and singletrack that demand mountain-bike handling on a gravel bike
Five to eight hours of fuelling through hard climbing, where under-eating early ends the day
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Progressive big-vert long rides, building from 3 hours to a 5-6 hour peak with maximal climbing
Sustained climb repeats, 3-5 x 15-30 min at climbing threshold
An event-simulation long ride with event-like vert at target effort and full fuelling rehearsal
Rocky-descent practice, plus altitude or heat exposure wherever you can get it
