About
The Iron Gravel IG360 is an ultra-distance bikepacking event that links four Mediterranean provinces, Alicante, Murcia, Albacete, and Valencia, across routes of up to 720 kilometres. Four distances are available, 720, 360, 200, and 100 kilometres, with the 360-kilometre option accumulating 4,000 metres of climbing, reflecting the demanding interior terrain of the Valencian and Murcian hinterlands. Running at the same time as The Traka, from 30 April to 3 May, it creates an exceptional cycling hub for those dates. The route stitches together contrasting landscapes from the Alicante coastline to the high plains of Albacete. A unique geographical experience. At Push Rider, the coast-to-interior contrast across four provinces is managed in the specificity phase of the 12-week programme, where the coach fine-tunes on TrainingPeaks the fuelling strategy and pacing plan so metabolic efficiency holds across changing climate and terrain; the psychological resilience built in weekly coach sessions is what separates the rider who finishes from the one who does not.

How to prepare for the Iron Gravel IG360 using the PUSH TRAINING 360 method?
The PUSH TRAINING 360 method structures 12 weeks of preparation with weekly review across four phases: aerobic base, threshold building, specificity load, and tapering. For the 360 km distance with 4,000 m of elevation crossing four provinces, the specificity load includes very long rides with logistical planning and on-route fuelling; for the 720 km distance, the aerobic base must be very extensive and incorporate night training and sleep management. Nutrition follows three phases: pre-event loading, continuous in-race fuelling, and post-race recovery. Pacing strategy prioritises a sustainable rhythm that allows completing the full route without compromising the second half.
