Intervals.icuWhat the Gralloch throws at you
Typical sessions
Race pace from the gun: sustained high intensity for three to five hours, not endurance survival
One major climb that selects the field, ridden at threshold
Repeatable surges out of corners and to hold groups on the fast forest gravel
Handling and drafting on flowing tracks, where carrying speed is free time
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Threshold intervals: 3-4x 8-15min at 95-105% FTP for race-pace and selection durability
The big-climb rep: a sustained 10-20min climb at threshold to rehearse the selection point
VO2 intervals: 5-6x 3-5min at 110-120% FTP for starts, selections and closing gaps
Fast-group gravel rides for positioning, drafting and race-pace handling
