Training for Tour Divide 2026

This plan is designed specifically for the Tour Divide, providing a progressive bikepacking training program to prepare you for the race. In addition, an online planning module offers resources and actionable tasks to support your race planning and kit selection.

These plans have been proven to deliver the optimal balance of training load, with a primary focus on preparing you for an off-road event like the Tour Divide with first hand knowledge by Peta McSharry of what it takes to prepare and ride the Tour Divide.

Dual mode delivery

 

Preparing for the Tour Divide requires more than just following a standard training plan—it involves comprehensive, thoughtful planning. That’s why this training plan uses a dual-mode approach: your workouts will be delivered through Training Peaks, while all off-the-bike preparation is handled on a dedicated online platform.

This online resource is organised into modules, providing you with everything you need for effective planning so you won’t have to search endlessly on Google. Alongside helpful materials, you’ll find clear, actionable tasks to help you prepare every aspect of your race. I’ll also be monitoring your progress to help keep you on track and ensure you’re ready come race day. It is tailored for Tour Divide offering the resources you need to prepare for the race. This plan comes with first hand knowledge of training and preparing for TD, with Peta having taken to the start-line twice.
