About

Laba Gravel sets off from Andoain in Gipuzkoa and covers 270 kilometres with 5,000 metres of elevation through the Atlantic interior of the Basque Country. Rolling green hills, scattered farmhouses, fern-lined tracks, and beech forests, alongside the damp, changeable weather of the Cantabrian coast, define the distinctly northern character of this ultra event. The bikepacking format demands self-sufficiency and the ability to adapt to rapidly shifting conditions. At Push Rider, the wet terrain and variable surfaces of the Basque interior are addressed in the specificity phase through low-grip technique sessions; the nutrition pillar covers hydration and cold-weather metabolism, and weekly coach review adjusts the load so you reach Andoain with real management margins.

How to prepare for Laba Gravel with PUSH TRAINING 360?

PUSH TRAINING 360 is a 12-week plan with weekly review structured in 4 phases: aerobic base, threshold building, specificity load and tapering. For 270 km and 5,000 m in the Basque Country, with demanding terrain and variable weather, the specificity phase works extended mountain days and training in adverse conditions. Nutrition is organised in 3 phases and the pacing strategy sets progress blocks adjusted to the accumulated elevation to avoid overexertion on the climbs in the first third.
