Seven named passes through the Dolomites
Maratona dles Dolomites climbs through the heart of the Dolomites on seven named passes, each with distinct character — Campolongo's warmup, Pordoi and Sella's steady grinds, and Passo Giau's hairpin switchbacks arriving late with several passes already in the legs. Surfaces are smooth closed roads; the demand is repeatable high-altitude climbing and pacing across sustained gradients.
For the rider with eight focused weeks and seven to eleven hours a week, this plan concentrates on repeatable climbing on sustained gradients and the pacing discipline Giau's hairpins demand late in the ride.
INSIDE THE FINISHER PLAN — 7–11 HR/WK

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
