Training Day: Unbound Gravel winner Lauren De Crescenzo’s altitude threshold intervals

What does it take to win the biggest gravel races like Unbound Gravel 200, SBT GRVL and Gravel Worlds? Power, endurance, and some more power. Also coffee; don’t forget that part.

Lauren De Crescenzo has won all these aforementioned events and more. She and her husband Jim Snitzer recently moved back to Colorado, and I tagged along for a workout to learn a bit about how she trains.

Lauren likes Perc Up. I like the Juggernaut 'sorta dark' roast.
