About
The Orbea Gravel Aiaraldea - Sierra Salvada takes riders through the borderlands between Burgos and Alava, where the Castilian plateau gradually rises into the foothills of the Cantabrian range. Structured as a multi-stage event, the route links the Aiaraldea valleys with the ridgelines of Sierra Salvada, an area known for lush vegetation and striking highland scenery. Stage distances and elevation are detailed on the official website per edition. Push Rider approaches plateau-to-mountain multi-stage formats through the three pillars of Training 360: sustained watts on long climbs in the race-specific phase, activation nutrition between stages and pacing psychology to protect performance on the following day. Check the official website for stage details and support services.

How to prepare for the Orbea Gravel Aiaraldea - Sierra Salvada with PUSH TRAINING 360?
A 2-day stage race in the Burgos and Álava region requires preparing for both daily performance and overnight recovery between stages. The 12-week PUSH TRAINING 360 plan with weekly review includes 4 phases: aerobic base, threshold construction with particular focus on power over short climbs, specificity loading with back-to-back double-day blocks, and a pre-event taper. The 3-phase nutrition approach covers glycogen loading beforehand, active fuelling during each stage, and protein recovery between days. Pacing strategy in a stage race means not burning reserves on day one in order to tackle day two with confidence.
