About The Plan
To succeed at a race like Migration Gravel Race, a rider must develop extreme fatigue resistance, stamina, and strength on the bike. This plan provides structured, progressive workouts targeting the key areas of physiology required for success at Migration Gravel Race and other endurance stage races. Over the course of the 12 weeks, the volume, intensity, and frequency of training gradually build, preparing riders for the demands of multi-day gravel racing.
The workouts are simple but effective, designed to build a rider’s fitness and confidence ahead of a demanding event like Migration. Each workout includes a short explanation of the rationale behind the session, connecting it to the rider’s broader preparation. Clear guidance is also provided on how to execute each session alongside the workout file.
This plan is designed for intermediate and advanced cyclists who want to challenge themselves and make the most of the time they have available to train. The preparation requires time, energy, and commitment, but it is not so high-volume or rigid that it cannot be balanced with the rest of life’s priorities. For most riders, consistently following the plan will lead to significant physiological adaptation.
