Hi trainerroad community.
I am starting the long road (and hoping I get an admission) training for badlands in 2027. This would not be my first 600km+, but would be my first of this difficulty.
I am scoping out my plan at the moment and my first primary question would be for some advice on how to use TR over such a long period of time, with a mix of Gym, on road and turbo training (with some mixed cross training to stave off boredom). My currently plan is to work in 3 blocks, one in 2026 and two in 2027, with C and B events along the way as key test markers.
Any guidance one could give would be amazing on how to plan and work with TR over such a long period. Also, any links to information, podcasts etc would be amazing for me to learn.
thanks!
