About

Graval Extreme is the most ambitious ultra event on the Valencian gravel scene, offering distances of 800 km and 400 km with 13,000 m of cumulative elevation in its extreme version. Starting from Valencia, the route unfolds across the full breadth of the Comunitat Valenciana, from the Mediterranean coastline to the wildest corners of the mountainous interior. The physical and logistical demands of this event place it among the elite of national bikepacking, reserved for riders with solid ultra experience and proven capacity for autonomous route management. Building the volume base required for 800 km and 13,000 m of elevation takes months of structured training, something Push Rider coaching plans at least six months out from event day.

How to prepare for Graval Extreme 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 an ultra of 400 or 800 km with 13,000 m of elevation, the specificity phase includes blocks of over 6 hours of riding, sleep management, and on-route self-sufficiency. Nutrition follows 3 phases: glycogen preloading, continuous replenishment adapted to actual ultra intake rhythms, and post-effort recovery. Pacing strategy demands very conservative rhythms in the opening hours and detailed rest planning based on the individual participant profile.
