A week of relentless climbing
Typical sessions
Around 30,000m of climbing over 1,600km, one of the highest vertical-to-distance ratios in ultra racing
A double traverse, so the crux is climbing well on legs already days deep in fatigue
Autumn cols bring cold, rain, wind and genuine snow risk on passes above 2,000m
Self-navigation, roughly 12 hours of darkness a night, and an eight-day cutoff
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Big vertical days, building from 3,000m toward 4,000 to 5,000m of climbing in a single ride
Back-to-back mountain weekends: a big Saturday, then more climbing on tired legs Sunday
Sustained climb repeats, 3 to 4 by 20 to 40 minutes at threshold on gradient
Overnight road rides and cold, wet climbing days to rehearse the autumn cols
