What the route throws at you
Typical sessions
Relentless rolling vertical: constant forest and low-mountain climbs, cumulative rather than in big alpine blocks
Mixed gravel surfaces, from fast hard-pack to loose, chunky, mud-prone forest tracks after rain
Multi-day self-support: two to four days riding, carrying your kit, sleeping out, no feed stations
Contact-point breakdown: saddle sores, numb hands and foot hot-spots end more ultras than fitness does
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Weekend doubles: two long back-to-back gravel days to teach your body cumulative multi-day fatigue
Overnight rides through the dark with a short bivvy, rehearsing sleep timing and night navigation
Loaded gravel rides on full bikepacking kit, plus progressive long rides to condition saddle, hands and feet
A multi-day self-supported block in the Specialise phase: full kit, real resupply, your locked-in sleep plan
Not a generic schedule
