Plan Description


You're training 12-18 hours. You're doing the work. But something's not translating to race day. Usually it's one of three things: wrong intensity distribution, poor pacing strategy, or mismatched taper protocol. This plan addresses all three.



You've been stuck. Same training, same results. Most riders at 12-18 hours plateau because volume alone doesn't unlock the next level. The Compete Advanced plan fixes that—progressive overload and race-specific preparation translate hours into performance. Unbound Gravel 200's specific demands—85-95°F heat, 200-mile distance, prevailing headwinds—require race-specific protocols. Heat adaptation weeks 6-10. Distance fueling tested. Everything validated before race day.



What the Compete Advanced plan Includes


Periodized intensity with dedicated base, build, and peak phases—no more year-round threshold hammering. Distance-specific fueling for the 200: 60-80g carbs/hour protocol tested for extended efforts. Race execution playbook covering pacing, fueling under fatigue, and group dynamics.



18,000+ Word Guide


The comprehensive system. Every aspect of training and racing covered.


Race Tactics: Three-Act Structure — Conservative start, strategic middle, survival finish mapped to race timeline. Technical Skills Practice — Progressive drills for cornering, descending, rough terrain—weekly practice building competence. Race-Specific Preparation — Heat protocols, altitude adaptation (if needed), equipment choices.



Alternative?


Or you could keep doing high volume without precision. Train by feeling, not targets. Results remain unpredictable.



What This Plan Delivers


Precision over volume. Every session has specific purpose—no wasted work.


Power distribution for 10+ hour efforts • Race execution protocols • Fueling at intensity • Technical skills under fatigue



Built for the race demands. Designed for people training 12-18 hours who want precision, not just volume.
