About
The opening round of the German Gravel League takes place in Kloster Lehnin, on the flat Brandenburg plain. Four distances, 52, 78, 104 and 130 km, open the race to riders of all levels, from first-timers to national title contenders. The mixed surface course combines gravel, tarmac, cobblestone, and forest sand, accurately representing northern Germany's varied terrain: flat, fast roads where wind management and group tactics decide outcomes. In Push Training 360 we develop sustained flat-power through the aerobic base and threshold phases, and refine race strategy in weekly coach reviews, because in Brandenburg reading the group and executing your pacing plan correctly will always outperform raw volume.

PUSH TRAINING 360 is a 12-week plan with weekly review and 4 phases: aerobic base, threshold building, specificity load and tapering. For this race of up to 130 km on mixed terrain (gravel, tarmac, cobblestones and forest sand), the specificity phase works on surface transitions and the rhythm changes typical of a varied course. Pacing must account for speed loss on the forest sand sections. The 3-phase nutrition plan ensures sustained energy across a long-distance race held in May.
