Consistent training over time is the key element in maximizing your fitness. This is achieved by starting at the appropriate level and then slowly progressing. A mix of longer rides, shorter intense rides and recovery rides will provide your body with the right amount of stress and recovery and will enable you to prepare properly. By looking at the specifics of your event (100 km in a single day or 4 full days) you can set out your program to provide the right type and amount of training to enable you to achieve your goal.

Good luck with your training.
