About The Plan
This structured and progressive preparation is designed to help riders perform well at the Schleck Xperience Gran Fondo. The workouts are adapted to the demands and typology of the race, with a focus on building the fitness needed for long endurance efforts, repeated climbs, pacing and race-day readiness.
The plan provides clear week-by-week structure and progressive training load across the 10-week preparation. Workouts are designed to build endurance, climbing strength, pacing control and the confidence required to handle the event’s rolling and hilly terrain.
This preparation is suitable for beginner through to advanced cyclists looking to arrive at the start line feeling prepared, confident and ready to enjoy the race.
