About
The Pyrenean Rally is a coast-to-coast-and-back bikepacking ultra stretching 1,799 km and 46,000 metres of elevation gain between Girona and Llanca. Riders traverse the full length of the Pyrenees and return to the starting point, navigating autonomously across high mountain passes, narrow valleys, remote tracks and unpredictable weather over multiple consecutive days. Push Rider's preparation for events at this scale addresses pedalling economy at sustained low intensity, minimum-sleep protocols and the mental management of uncertainty, three pillars that differentiate finishers beyond the 1,000-kilometre mark. Strictly for experienced ultra-endurance cyclists with a documented background in events of a thousand kilometres or more.

How to prepare for The Pyrenean Rally with PUSH TRAINING 360?
With 1,799 km and 46,000 m of elevation in an ultra coast-to-coast format, The Pyrenean Rally is one of the most extreme events on the calendar. The 12-week PUSH TRAINING 360 plan with weekly review is pushed to its absolute limit here: the aerobic base phase must be very solid and extended; threshold construction targets economy during multi-hour loads; specificity loading includes blocks of several consecutive days on the bike with panniers simulating full route autonomy; the final taper allows arriving fresh. The 3-phase nutrition approach is absolutely critical at this scale: maximum pre-loading, a continuous fuelling strategy alternating energy sources throughout the route, and systemic recovery after completion. Pacing must be ultra-conservative from the first kilometre, since managing effort and sleep over hundreds of kilometres is the difference between finishing and abandoning.
