Mallorca 312

24 April 2027Mallorca, España

Distance

312km

Elevation

5000m

Mallorca 312 is a gran fondo of 312 km (also 225 and 167 km options) crossing the Serra de Tramuntana with over 5,000 m of climbing. Starting from Playa de Muro, it takes on climbs like Col de Femenia and stretches of the MA-10 between Banyalbufar and Andratx. Training requires superior endurance (long days), elevation accumulation, sustained climbs of 8-15 km, and learning to maintain power after many hours.

NUA's plan for Mallorca 312

NUA's Mallorca 312 plan tackles two demands at once: in-saddle durability (12+ hours) and the ability to hold power on long climbs like the MA-10. We prescribe progressive long Z2 rides, sustained tempo blocks and double-climb simulations. NUA monitors your accumulated fatigue week by week so you arrive fresh, not depleted, on race day.

Frequently asked questions about training for Mallorca 312

How long do I need to prepare for Mallorca 312?+
NUA builds your plan backwards from race day. For most gran fondos and similar distances, 12-16 weeks is the sweet spot — enough to build aerobic base, then sharpen race-specific efforts. With less than 8 weeks, NUA adapts the plan to focus on finishing strong rather than chasing peak performance.
What does NUA's training plan for Mallorca 312 look like?+
A weekly mix of Z2 endurance, race-specific intervals (climbs, sustained efforts, attacks), and structured recovery. Each week adapts based on your readiness, completed sessions, and how the previous week went. The closer to race day, the more specific the work — tapering kicks in automatically in the final two weeks.
Can NUA help if it's my first time at this distance?+
Yes. During onboarding NUA asks about your weekly volume, experience, and goal (finish, finish strong, target time). First-timers get a base-building approach focused on completing the distance comfortably. Experienced riders get more aggressive interval work and race-day pacing strategy.
Does NUA's plan for Mallorca 312 include indoor training?+
Yes. NUA prescribes both outdoor and indoor sessions based on your availability and weather. Indoor workouts export as ZWO files compatible with Zwift, Rouvy, TrainerRoad, and intervals.icu, and the full plan syncs to Garmin and Wahoo head units.
