About
Viaextrema348 is an ultra-cycling bikepacking event starting in Banos de Montemayor, in the rugged interior of Caceres province, covering 342 kilometres with 3,700 metres of elevation gain. The route crosses Extremadura's dehesa landscapes, forest tracks, and quiet back roads that demand endurance and sound bike-handling skills. The self-supported format means riders must manage food, water, and rest entirely on their own. The Push Rider 12-week programme structures the aerobic base phase and long-load blocks with weekly coach review, so you arrive in Extremadura with in-race nutrition protocols and psychological resilience already trained — not improvised on the day.

PUSH TRAINING 360 is a 12-week plan with weekly review structured in 4 phases: aerobic base, threshold building, specificity load and tapering. For a 342 km ultra with 3,700 m of elevation the specificity phase includes back-to-back days exceeding 150 km, night riding sessions and on-route rest management. Nutrition is split into 3 phases (loading, race and recovery) and the pacing strategy focuses on conservative power outputs in the first 200 km to preserve glycogen stores for the final stretch.
