Training & Nutrition

To get the most out of The Alpine Challenge, you need to be fit enough to actually enjoy them. It is an extremely challenging multi-stage endurance event and we have found that many people under estimate the amount of training required in preparation.

We are really excited to have teamed up with Wattbike as our official Training Partner for 2012, enabling us to provide riders with first-class training advice and support. At HotChillee, we put great thought into our partnerships and in Wattbike we think we have found a tool that will allow all of us to be in perfect shape for the events - that is of course with a little hard work!

Wattbike have devised a detailed 6 month training plan that is bespoke to The Alpine Challenge.

• Wattbike Training Programme Weeks 1 to 6 (1.3mb)
• Wattbike Training Programme Weeks 7 to 12 (1.9mb)
• Wattbike Training Programme Weeks 13 to 18 (1.9mb)
• Wattbike Training Programme Weeks 19 to 24 (1.9mb)
