Training

Training for the Colnago GF Mont Ventoux

We don't do generic plans. We combine deep knowledge of this race's demands with your recent training, then build a plan with you that progresses as you do.

Beina integrates directly with your existing tools to understand your current fitness, and synchronise your planned sessions.

Intervals.icu

One long climb, on tired legs

Typical sessions

A sustained threshold effort on gradient: the Bédoin forest is 30 to 60 minutes of climbing with no respite and no view

On the Granfondo you reach the base of Ventoux with over 100km already in the legs, so it is never a fresh climb

A brutal climate swing: hot Provençal valleys, then a bare summit 10 to 15°C colder in the Mistral wind

Weight is exposed everywhere. Every excess kilo costs you on a climbing-dominated day

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

2x20 sweet spot and 3x15 threshold work to build sustained climbing power

40 to 60 minute continuous climb efforts on a real gradient, simulating the Bédoin forest

A Ventoux simulation: a 3 to 4 hour ride finishing with a 45 to 70 minute sustained climb

Pacing rehearsal: a long climb ridden deliberately easy for the first third, then building to threshold

Not a generic schedule

Typical sessions

Built from your current fitness and the time you actually have

Adapts every week as Beina learns how you respond

Syncs your sessions straight to Garmin and Wahoo

One clear next session, never a wall of spreadsheet
