About
Rural Cycling Gravel celebrates the landscape of Les Garrigues, the Lleida district renowned for its centuries-old olive groves, vineyards, and dry-stone farmhouses, with two distance options of 95 km and 55 km. The agricultural tracks and rural paths of this inland comarca deliver smooth, contemplative riding, far removed from the alpine profile of Pyrenean events. An ideal proposal for riders seeking accessible and authentic gravel in the heart of rural Catalonia, where the agri-food landscape and local culture are the true protagonists. The 95 km format over rolling terrain is also a useful context for practising endurance pace in real competition conditions, something Push Rider coaching uses as a quality riding block during specific loading periods.

How to prepare for Rural Cycling Gravel with PUSH TRAINING 360?
PUSH TRAINING 360 is a 12-week plan with weekly review, built around 4 phases: aerobic base, threshold construction, specificity load, and tapering. For 55 or 95 km in Les Garrigues, the specificity phase adapts the load to the chosen distance: greater endurance volume for the 95 km option and high-tempo work for the 55 km option. Nutrition follows 3 phases: pre-event preloading, scheduled intake during the event, and active recovery. Pacing strategy recommends efficient management of the flat gravel sections and measured effort on the climbs.
