About

A non-competitive bikepacking event based in Bassano del Grappa, a town steeped in cycling history at the foot of the Dolomites. Four routes of up to 720 km, with a maximum of 4,300 metres of climbing, can be completed within a six-day window at the rider's own pace, with no rankings or prizes. The Veneto region offers remarkable landscape diversity, from agricultural valleys and Trevigiano hills to alpine passes and karst plateaus. Designed for self-sufficient cyclists who manage logistics, rest and pace entirely independently, and who have developed the ability to sustain moderate effort over consecutive days without accumulating the kind of fatigue that compromises judgement and safety. Push Training 360 structures preparation for events like this from the aerobic base phase through the specificity blocks, incorporating multi-day consecutive sessions with progressive fatigue management and nutrition protocols that the coach refines in each weekly review.

How to prepare for the Veneto Gravel with PUSH TRAINING 360?

Over 12 weeks with weekly reviews, the PUSH TRAINING 360 plan adapts the 4 phases to the ultra bikepacking format: aerobic base builds multi-day consecutive riding endurance; threshold building is secondary, with priority on zone 2 efficiency; specificity load includes consecutive bikepacking days with camping gear to simulate accumulated fatigue; tapering reduces load in the final week. Three-phase nutrition manages self-sufficient fuelling across multiple days on the road. Race strategy centres on daily stage planning and rest management to complete 200, 400 or 720 km within the 6-day window.
