About
Grinduro Scotland blends competitive riding with a genuine festival atmosphere at the historic Drumlanrig Castle estate in Dumfries & Galloway. The 50 and 100 km routes are not raced flat-out from start to finish: only four timed enduro-style segments count, leaving the rest of the ride free for exploration and socialising. The Drumlanrig grounds offer technical singletrack, forest roads and open hillside terrain that rewards bike handling as much as raw power. The enduro format demands the ability to switch into high-intensity efforts after relaxed riding — Push Training 360's specificity phase includes intermittent effort blocks on variable terrain, and weekly coach sessions refine your pacing strategy for each timed segment.

How to prepare for Grinduro Scotland with PUSH TRAINING 360?
PUSH TRAINING 360 provides a 12-week plan with weekly review tailored to the 4-segment enduro format. Phase 1 (aerobic base) builds the endurance to complete 50 or 100 km within a festival day. Phase 2 (threshold building) develops maximum sustainable power for efforts of 5 to 20 minutes, which is critical in the timed segments. Phase 3 (specificity load) includes simulated segments with fast starts and active recovery between them. Phase 4 (tapering) reduces volume while preserving quality and speed. Nutrition follows three phases: light pre-race loading, refuelling between timed segments, and protein recovery at the end of the day. Race strategy in enduro format prioritises peak output in each timed segment, with liaison sections ridden at moderate intensity to arrive recovered.
