Summitflow Pace for Cycling · Gran fondo · 100 km
Long Z2 rides
Aerobic base as the backbone. 3–6 h rides during the build, periodised with recovery.
Climbing specifics
Threshold intervals and sweet-spot repeats simulate the climbs on race day.
Coggan zones Z1–Z7
Power-based using Coggan Classic. FTP updates every 6–8 weeks.
Sweet-spot work
88–94 % FTP intervals as an efficiency lever. A high training effect for every hour you invest.
Block periodisation
4-week cycles alternating volume and intensity weeks. Recovery as a must.
Race-specific peak
In the final 4 weeks, long rides matched to your race profile, with climbing intervals.
Grounded in sports science
Polarised 80/20
80% of your training in low zones (Z1/Z2), 20% in high zones (Z4/Z5+). The most effective approach to endurance performance — backed by Seiler (2010) and Stöggl & Sperlich (2014).
Block periodisation
4-week blocks: Build → Build → Peak → Recovery. A systematic increase in load all the way to race day, through the Base, Build, Peak and Taper phases.
