About

In its tenth edition, Nova Eroica Buonconvento stands as one of the great classics of Tuscan gravel cycling. From the medieval village of Buonconvento, distances of 42, 67, 96, 131 and 290 km wind across the famous strade bianche, the white limestone roads that have shaped Italian cycling history. The format blends timed segments for competitive riders with open sections for those who want to absorb the rolling hills, cypress groves and vineyards of the Val d'Orcia. Up to 5,500 metres of elevation in the epic option demands specific fatigue-resistance preparation and precise nutritional management, areas where Push Rider coaching builds the protocols that keep athletes functional through the final kilometres of an ultra-distance day. In Push Training 360, the three-phase nutrition plan —adaptation, activation and race-specific— calibrates carbohydrate intake and hydration kilometre by kilometre, while the coach's weekly review ensures training load never compromises the athlete's condition on race morning.
