What Langdale throws at you
Typical sessions
Short, punchy forest climbs stacked through the ride, not one big ascent
A couple of hours of rolling gravel: aerobic fitness over firm fire roads
The temptation to attack every rise and fade in the second half
Exposed moor-edge sections that can turn cool and windy even in July
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Punchy climb repeats: 4 to 6 x 3-6min tempo or threshold on gravel climbs
Sweet spot blocks: 2-3 x 15-20min at 88-93% FTP for sustainable climbing power
A long Z2 gravel ride building comfortably past 48km
Fuelling rehearsal at 60-80g carbs an hour on the longer rides
