I want to prepare for a cycling sportive
Goals
Preparing for a sportive requires combining base, specific work, progression, and rest.
Recommended steps
- Define the date, distance, and approximate elevation gain.
- Calculate how many weeks you have to prepare for the goal.
- Choose a plan compatible with your available days.
- Include endurance work and specific intensity sessions.
- Do not neglect nutrition, rest, and long rides.
- The final phase should arrive with fitness, not exhaustion.
