Intervals.icuFast, punchy, close
Typical sessions
110km of fast forest fire road, well surfaced rather than technical
1,800m of climbing in short punchy hits with fast descents between them
Long flat power sections where holding watts and holding a wheel both count
A mass start with close racing, so positioning matters from the gun
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Over-unders and threshold work, the engine this course actually asks for
Punchy hill repeats, 8-12 x 2-4min hard, matching the climbs you'll meet
Group riding on gravel to practise wheels, positioning and surging back on after a climb
One long gravel ride a week at 4-5hr, enough for 110km without ultra volume
Not a generic schedule
