Mallorca M312 Preparation

The Mallorca M312/M225/M167 is the longest amateur cycling event in Europe. It is a demanding ride even for seasoned amateur cyclists. Training involves months of turbo trainer/indoor cycling during the cold winter months. It involves building base miles and fitness. Ideally, it will include climbing as this is predominantly the first half of the M312/M225/M167.

Cycling Holiday Performance Holidays are perfect timing for the Mallorca M312/M225/M167. It should be used as part of the rider's training block before the rider starts to taper and reduce volume and intensity approaching the selected event.

You also get to train in beautiful Mallorca where you’re often flanked by limestone cliffs or olive and orange tree orchards, and the beautiful turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
