Intervals.icuA very long day off-road
Typical sessions
7,050m of climbing on loose, steep surfaces, over and over again
209km on MTB terrain, which fatigues far harder than the same distance on road
Technical descending under deep fatigue, when your handling is already fading
Self-management over a very long day: pacing, fuelling and mental resilience decide finishes
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Long MTB endurance rides, 4 to 8 hours off-road, Z2 with the climbs ridden at tempo
Back-to-back big weekends, 5-7hr Saturday plus 3-5hr Sunday, for cumulative fatigue
Sweet-spot climbs on the MTB, 3-4 x 15-25min at 88-94% FTP on off-road pitches
Fuel-practice long rides rehearsing 80 to 100g of carbs per hour until your gut copes
