Training for Haute Road
The plans are also suitable for anyone training for a cycling event or wishing to achieve ambitious fitness goals.
THE HAUTE ROUTE 3 DAY EVENTS
This progressive Haute Route cycling training plan is designed specifically for the 3-day events and is based on up to date training methodology and experience of preparing riders for multi-day events. The training sessions follow a polarised training model whereby 80% of your training will be at an intensity less than yourFTP, and 20% above your FTP. This type of Haute Route training has been proven to be an effective and time efficient method of preparation for endurance events.
As thecycling training planprogresses, it gets more specific and starts to replicate the riding you will do on the actual cycling event. This programme requires eight hours of bike training in the first week, progressing to 15 hours in the tenth week, with increasing intensity as well.

THE HAUTE ROUTE 7 DAY EVENTS
Following the same training methodology as the Haute Route 3 day plan, the 7 day plan aims to prepare riders for the increased intensity and endurance challenge of the 7 day Haute Route rides.
As the training plan progresses, the intensity increases and starts to replicate the cycling you’ll do on the Haute Route. The plan requires 10 hours of training in the first week, progressing to 20 hours in the tenth week, and we are confident that by the end of the training programme you will be able to conquer the world's most famous multi-day cycling event for amateur riders.

Why Benchmarking Matters
Ever wonder why some athletes make rapid gains while others plateau? The secret isn’t just hard work, it’s benchmarking. Without knowing your starting point, training can be guesswork. The right test, from an FTP or ramp test for endurance to short maximal efforts for power, gives you the data to train smarter, not harder. Benchmarking transforms every session into a targeted, purposeful workout, accelerates progress, and ensures recovery is effective. Plus, regular re-testing keeps your training in sync with your improving fitness, so you stay ahead of stagnation and build sustainable, long-term performance. Discover how to train with clarity, confidence, and measurable results.
