Training for the JUST.GRAVEL Grizedale
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.icuGentle by design
Typical sessions
Up to 45km on well-surfaced forest fire road, rolling rather than steep
No cut-offs and no timing, so there is no pressure to hold any particular pace
One feed station on the 32km and 45km routes
Non-technical throughout, rideable on a gravel bike or a hardtail
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Build your longest ride gradually toward the distance you've picked, and that alone is most of the job
One steady ride a week on mixed surface to get used to gravel under the tyres
A little easy climbing so the rolling forest roads feel familiar
A short ride on the bike you'll actually use, with the bag and kit you'll actually carry
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
