Intervals.icu

What the Surrey Hills throw at you

Typical sessions

Repeated short, steep hill climbs stacked through the ride, not one long ascent

Soft, sandy greensand that drags on the climbs and turns slippery over wet roots

Climb-rhythm discipline: every sharp ramp tempts over-effort, repeatable power is faster

Aerobic durability on the 93km, where the back half piles on punchy climbing with tiring legs

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Punchy climb repeats: 6 to 10 x 2 to 5min tempo/threshold on gravel climbs

Sweet-spot blocks: 2 to 3 x 15 to 20min at 88 to 93% FTP for sustainable climbing power

Long hilly sandy gravel rides building toward your route distance, the priority weekend session

Sandy and rooty bridleway handling in the dry and wet, plus 60 to 90g carbs/hour fuelling rehearsal
