Training tips
The 110 km L'Etape Chile long route combines a hilly road profile, 1,804 m of climbing and a timed closed-road event environment. Treat the detailed climb distribution as provisional until GPX analysis is available.
Use the 14-week preparation window to build long aerobic rides toward the 110 km distance while keeping some sessions specific to rolling road terrain.
Include sustained and repeat climbing efforts because the published elevation gain is substantial for the distance.
Practice steady pacing over changing terrain so the timed event format does not push you into early surges before the final climbs.
Rehearse eating and drinking during rides over 3 hours so fueling remains automatic on the longer coastal and inland sections.
