About this video

Gravel simulation rides are designed to mimic the physical, mental and logistical demands of actual gravel events. In this podcast, we explore the ideal duration and intensity for these rides, as well as effective nutrition and equipment to ensure optimal performance.

The 3 Key Elements of a Gravel Training Simulation Are: 1. Duration and Intensity** 2. Nutrition 3. Equipment

By riding as hard and as long as you will in your race. Over terrain as close as you can find to the race course, in temperatures as hot or cold as you will face on your race bike set up exactly like it will be on race day - the gravel simulation is not a workout, its not just about a long hard ride, its a complete dress rehearsal so you can flush out any chinks in your preparation so you don’t discover them during the event.
