๐ด Etape Loch Ness: 12 Weeks to Go! ๐ด๐พโโ๏ธ๐๏ธ
Weโre officially in the 12 week countdown, and itโs time to step up your training! Over the next 4 weeks, focus on:
Longer weekend rides - build endurance and get comfortable in the saddle.
Midweek intensity - turbo or road sessions to push your pace. Road or indoor, just make sure you stay safe on icy roads โ๏ธ.
By the end of this block, youโll be halfway through the plan. From here, we switch to two weeks hard, one week easier - reducing volume and intensity to about 60% so your body can recover and prepare for the next push ๐ช.
๐ค Feeling under the weather? Take the rest you need. Jump back in at the same point when youโre ready. Your body will thank you!
Donโt forget, our Training Zone has all the tools and tips to help you prepare - check them out here : https://www.etapelochness.com/training-zone

Etape Loch Ness isnโt just a ride, itโs a journey through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Highlands.
Wide open roads, quiet moments by the waterโฆ and that shared feeling of weโre all in this together.
Every pedal stroke reminds you what youโre capable of and adds to the story youโll be proud to share for years to come.
If you`re in need of a bit of extra motivation, or just want to feel that pre-event buzz, join the Etape Loch Ness Strava Club to connect with fellow riders, swap tips, share your miles, and soak up the motivation all the way to the start line ๐ช

The King/Queen of the Mountain section can be a true test of perseverance, grit and knowing how to pace yourself when it really starts to bite ๐ช but the views from the top make every pedal worth it.
For those of you who have tackled the Glendoe climb before, share your wisdom ๐
What advice would you pass on to first-timers lining up to take on the challenge? ๐

What are you most looking forward to when you ride Loch Ness in April?๐๐ด

The buzz of riding alongside thousands of fellow cyclists?
The whoops and cheers as you pedal to the finish line?

We`d love to hear! ๐
