How to prepare for Entre Sierras Gravel Race with PUSH TRAINING 360?

For 100 km and 1,400 m of elevation in a single-day XC Race format, the 12-week PUSH TRAINING 360 plan with weekly review is the right fit. The 4 phases are: aerobic base to build the engine, threshold construction to raise sustained power on climbs, specificity loading with race-pace intervals and simulations of the Málaga terrain, and tapering in the final week. Nutrition follows 3 phases: glycogen loading before the event, regular carbohydrate intake during the race, and protein-based recovery afterwards. Race-day pacing should include a controlled start and steady effort management on the short climbs to maintain a consistent pace to the finish.
