I just wanted to say thanks for all the great advice that I received here. I think it really made the difference for me bagging the KOM.

Best strategy to improve climb time

Looking for some advice on how to train and apply the right strategy on the day to improve my time on a specific climb. Motivation is just to beat my previous best, I don’t have a specific target time in mind. The climb is Sa Calobra in Mallorca https://www.strava.com/segments/653262 It’s 9.5km @7%. I’ll have a power meter for pacing. My best time is a smidge over 40 minutes. The climb will be solo - no drafting etc and no race tactics. My questions are: What’s the best training approach …

Yours sincerely
Sten (Tom)
