Two fast days, back to back
Typical sessions
Race-pace gravel bunch riding on both days: positioning, drafting and covering moves
Day-two durability on tired legs, because the combined-time result turns on it
Repeatable rolling efforts, wave after wave, rather than one big climb
Overnight recovery as a race skill: refuel, hydrate, sleep and easy-spin between stages
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Back-to-back hard days: a race-pace gravel day, then a strong gravel day the next morning
Rolling threshold repeats, 6 to 10 by 3 to 8 min at threshold with short recovery
Over-unders and VO2 intervals to handle surges and cover the decisive moves
Long gravel rides building to 4 to 5hr, plus race-simulation days with full fuelling
