About

La Indomable takes its name from the unruly character of the terrain surrounding Berja in the Poniente Almeriense, a zone of extreme contrasts where subtropical coastline meets the slopes of Sierra Nevada and the Sierra de Gádor. Two distances are available, 178 kilometres with close to 4,000 metres of climbing and 147 kilometres with 2,890 metres, and the event is part of the Copa de España RFEC, adding serious competitive weight to an already demanding experience. The tracks and trails of this corner of Almería are arid, technical, and enormously photogenic. An essential appointment for gravel riders seeking southern Spanish riding at its most authentic. At Push Rider, the abrupt gradient changes between the Almería coastline and the sierra are addressed in the threshold-building phase of the 12-week programme with specific watt sessions on irregular ramps; the weekly TrainingPeaks coach review weaves in heat adaptation and race strategy so effort does not spike when temperature rises and fatigue is already accumulating in the legs.

How to prepare for La Indomable 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 long distance of 178 km with approximately 4,000 m of elevation in Almeria, the specificity load includes long sessions with elevation accumulation on arid, hot terrain; threshold work targets climb management in a Copa de España competitive context. Nutrition follows three phases: pre-event loading, in-race fuelling, and post-race recovery. Pacing strategy prioritises managing the hardest climbs without depleting energy reserves before the final third of the route.
