The miles behind the medals — 2026 season training data

In 2026, Lizzie has already covered more than 10,200km — including the Traka 560 ultra, a pre-race altitude camp in Spain's Sierra Nevada, and consistent high-volume training weeks throughout the year. The data below is pulled directly from Strava.

How She Trains

722.5
km/week average
Consistent high-volume weeks are the foundation of Lizzie's training. The last four weeks averaged 722.5km, 10,699m of climbing, and almost 29 hours in the saddle.
2,400m
Sierra Nevada altitude camp
Pre-Traka preparation in the Sierra Nevada — four days of mountain riding above 2,000m, including a 171km day with 2,993m of climbing. Altitude stress, high load, race-ready fitness.
550.5km
Longest single ride
Lizzie's all-time longest ride is 550.5km — the Traka 560, completed in May 2026. For Badlands (800km), the target is to go longer still.
