About
In the flatlands of northern Jutland, where gravel tracks wind through birch forests and agricultural plains battered by coastal winds, The Wolf (Ulven Gravl) delivers a sharp, fast-paced UCI Gravel World Series experience. The single 41 km loop from Dronninglund is deceptively demanding: the open terrain amplifies every gust, and the UCI race format means competition is fierce from the gun. At Push Rider we structure the specificity phase of the 12-week plan around flat-terrain threshold intervals and aerodynamic position work, because in a 41 km UCI loop on open ground, sustaining watts near FTP throughout the race and executing a smart race strategy are the two variables that decide the outcome.

How to prepare for The Wolf with PUSH TRAINING 360?
For a single intense 41 km loop, the 12-week PUSH TRAINING 360 plan is structured as follows: 4 weeks of aerobic base to build endurance on Nordic gravel, 3 weeks of threshold construction with high-intensity intervals suited to a short demanding race, 3 weeks of specificity simulating race pace over 41 km at sustained effort, and 2 weeks of tapering to arrive fresh on 5 September. Nutrition follows 3 phases: pre-race glycogen loading, in-race fuelling strategy adapted to the short duration, and post-effort recovery. Weekly plan reviews allow load adjustments based on individual adaptation.
