One Race, Two Goals: How We’re Preparing For The Gravel World Series

Is it possible to get race-ready for one of the world's toughest gravel events in just six weeks? Dan and Si are heading to Nannup, Western Australia, to take on Seven Gravel, the very same course that will host the UCI Gravel World Championships. With 125km of distance and a staggering 3,117m of elevation gain (that’s 25m of climbing per kilometer!), Dan is aiming simply to "Survive," while Si is looking to "Strive." To help them, they’ve enlisted two of the biggest names in coaching: Simon Jones (former Head of Performance at Team Sky) and Steven Gallagher (Canyon-SRAM). In this video, we break down the brutal course stats, undergo agonising FTP and ramp tests, and reveal the high-intensity training plans designed to transform "middle-aged men in Lycra" into gravel machines. 0:00
