What Eryri throws at you
Typical sessions
Relentless climb density: no true flat, you're climbing or descending the whole day
Short, steep Welsh bergs hitting 15 to 20 percent that demand low gearing
The signature Pen-y-Pass drag, 5 to 6km climbing to Snowdonia's highest paved pass
Cold, wind-exposed summits and greasy technical descents, even in June
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Climb repeats: 5 to 6 x 6-10min at 88-100% FTP on real climbs, holding the last one
Over-unders on gradient: 3 x 12min alternating 90% and 105% FTP uphill
Punchy berg reps: 8-10 x 1-2min at 110-130% FTP on steep ramps
A rising long ride toward a 5-6hr, 2,000m-plus climb-dense day for the Mawr
