Training
Training for the Three Peaks Bike Race
We don't do generic plans. We combine deep knowledge of this race's demands with your recent training, then build a plan with you that progresses as you do.
Beina integrates directly with your existing tools to understand your current fitness, and synchronise your planned sessions.
Intervals.icuA climber's ultra
Typical sessions
Relentless climbing, day after day. Holding a repeatable tempo on the fifth col is the whole game, not a one-off effort.
Altitude. Several passes and summits sit well above 2,000m, with thinner air on the longest climbs.
Route choice. You link the mandatory peaks yourself, and an efficient line can save hours.
Multiple nights out. You climb and descend high passes in the dark, cold and fatigued.
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Big vertical days building progressively toward 4,000 to 5,000m of climbing in a single ride.
Weekend doubles: a big climbing day, then hilly hours the next to ride on tired legs.
Sustained climb repeats and multi-col loops for a tempo you can hold col after col.
A three to four day self-supported mountain trip, plus an overnight ride that includes a long night descent.
