Truckee Tahoe Gravel’s medium course is 66 miles with about 4,600 feet of climbing, 84 percent gravel, and a start near 5,800 feet. Sierra roads and a course averaging about 6,100 feet make sustained climbing and steady work at altitude the central demands.
This is an eight-week plan for the same course on four to six hours a week, starting from the fitness you already have. It focuses the available time on sustained efforts and repeatable climbing.
