Race the Moment: The Art and Science of Dynamic Gravel Pacing

Gravel racing cannot be reduced to one power target or a perfectly paced plan. Success requires a dynamic, multifaceted approach, continually balancing effort, terrain, wind, group position, fueling, durability, and how your body is responding.In this episode, BaseCamp Head Coaches Tim Cusick and Dr. Namrita Brooke explore how to race the field without abandoning your plan. They explain when it makes sense to spend energy to stay with a group, when discipline matters more than tactics, and how to recognize the early signals that it is time to adjust.Whatever grave race you are preparing for, you will learn why the best gravel racers do not simply follow a number, they read the race, manage the moment, and make better decisions before fatigue makes those decisions for them.
