About
A UCI-sanctioned event within the Gravel World Series set against the wild northeastern coast of Sardinia, one of the most unspoiled corners of the Mediterranean. Starting from Siniscola, the route opens with flat coastal sections before climbing into gentle inland dirt hills that reward consistent pacing over raw power. With distances of 78 and 117 km and 1,220 metres of elevation, the race suits UCI points chasers and strong amateur riders alike. In Push Training 360, the threshold-building phase develops precisely this capacity: sustaining watts around FTP across long blocks so that the race-strategy designed with your coach translates directly into a controlled, effective effort on race day.

How to prepare for the Giro Sardegna Gravel with PUSH TRAINING 360?
Over 12 weeks with weekly performance reviews, the PUSH TRAINING 360 plan covers 4 phases: aerobic base (endurance on flat and semi-flat terrain), threshold building (intervals to sustain pace on gentle hills), specificity load (simulating 78 or 117 km with 1,220 m of gravel elevation), and tapering (load reduction in the final 10 days). Nutrition is planned in 3 phases: pre-race glycogen loading, in-race fuelling strategy, and post-competition recovery. Pacing focuses on holding steady intensity from the flat coastal start and managing effort through the inland climbs.
