Length

9 Weeks

Plan Description

Designed for athletes preparing for events like Unbound, Gravel Worlds, Mid South, and other rolling, punchy gravel races across the Midwest.

This plan focuses on building the ability to handle constant terrain changes, with an emphasis on short, punchy climbs, repeated surges above threshold, and sustained power over undulating terrain.

You’ll develop the strength and repeatability needed to stay steady when the terrain doesn’t let up.

Includes a simulation ride weekend to dial in pacing, fueling, and equipment before race day.

50-Mile Plan

Avg Weekly Hours: 6.5–7
