About
El Mito Bike Challenge is a 350 km ultra with 7,400 m of elevation crossing the Serrania de Ronda, one of the most legendary cycling territories in Andalusia. Starting from Ronda, the route ventures through farmsteads, white dirt tracks, and mountain ranges that once served as the backdrop for bandits and folklore. The combination of distance, elevation, and the characteristic heat of the Malaga highlands makes this a genuine challenge for ultra cyclists. In Push Rider Training 360, the specificity phase includes race strategy for southern Spain: watt-based thermoregulation management, specific-phase hydration protocols, and mental resilience work to sustain pacing through the most extreme heat sections of the 350 km.

How to prepare for El Mito Bike Challenge with PUSH TRAINING 360?
PUSH TRAINING 360 is a 12-week plan with weekly review, built around 4 phases: aerobic base, threshold construction, specificity load, and tapering. For 350 km with 7,400 m of elevation in the Serrania de Ronda, the specificity phase combines extended endurance blocks with climb-specific work. Nutrition follows 3 phases: glycogen preloading, energy replenishment every 40-60 minutes, and post-effort recovery. Pacing strategy recommends splitting the event into segments and staying below threshold on the early climbs to manage accumulated fatigue.
