20 June 2026Aragón, España
Distance
85km
Elevation
1350m
The Treparriscos is the "lighter" version of the Quebrantahuesos: about 85 km with ~1,350 m of climbing. It features the Cotefablo pass (~13.7 km at 4.4%) as the key section where differences are made. To tackle it confidently, train 10-15 km climbing efforts, manage your pace on moderate ascents and control energy expenditure on smaller climbs before Cotefablo.

Frequently asked questions about training for Treparriscos
How long do I need to prepare for Treparriscos?+
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 Treparriscos 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 Treparriscos 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.
