Plan Description

At 3,600 kilometers, speed matters only after your sleep, fueling, navigation, lighting, and judgment systems still work

The 2027 regulations define an approximately 3,600-kilometer paved-road ultracycling race starting and finishing in Warsaw, with the final start-day route supplied by GPX. The organizer's current route framework circles Poland through the eastern frontier, Bieszczady and Beskids, Czorsztyn and the Tatras, Karkonosze/Sudetes, the German border, Baltic coast, Masuria, and the Lithuania/Belarus border area before returning to Warsaw. The full 3,600 km/33,100m loop itself — no single climb or sector defines the race; the challenge is sustaining pace and sleep management across 12 days (solo) through eight distinct Polish regions.

For the rider chasing a competitive result on nine to thirteen hours a week, this twelve-week plan develops ultra-distance durability, conservative pacing, night-riding resilience, sleep strategy, category-compliant resupply, navigation, equipment redundancy, and fatigue management so the decisive moves at the approximately 3,600-kilometer / 33,100-meter Warsaw-to-Warsaw loop, repeated night riding, checkpoint limits, and twelve-day solo clock are still available. It builds systems you can rehearse inside this weekly volume; it does not replace prior multi-day riding experience.

INSIDE THE COMPETE PLAN — 9–13 HR/WK

Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat protocols for when your race calls for them, peloton skills workouts, and nutrition and hydration guidance.

The Complete Race Around Poland Guide — the training, the tactics, the gear and race day, explained simply and clearly: what to do, when to do it, and why it works.

Gravel God Cycling Coaching

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
