Intervals.icuWhat the day throws at you
Typical sessions
315km flat and 10 to 14 hours in the saddle: the test is durability, not gradient
Long headwind stretches on the open lakeside shore where solo riders suffer
Part of the ride in dark or half-light depending on your start wave
Nine feed stops and no private support, so fuelling and pacing are on you
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Long steady Z2 rides building from 4h toward a 7 to 8h peak
Back-to-back weekends: 5 to 6h Saturday, 3 to 4h Sunday, for cumulative fatigue
Chaingangs and club runs to rotate turns and learn to sit in and save energy
Flat tempo blocks, 2 to 3 by 30 to 45min, to hold a steady pace efficiently
Not a generic schedule
