A flat distance day
Typical sessions
Covering 100 miles (or 100km), for many their longest ever day in the saddle
Even, sustainable pacing over six to nine hours, not surges or heroics
Fuelling and saddle comfort, the real limiters on a flat century
Open, wind-exposed Cheshire lanes where a headwind is the closest thing to a climb
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
A progressive long ride, building distance week by week (40 to 55 to 70 to 80 miles)
Steady endurance rides, two to three hours in Z2 for aerobic base and saddle time

Group rides to practise drafting and holding pace against the wind
