If you’ve got 11 hours a week to play with you’re golden. That’s more than enough.
If you’re doing the full 312 then it’s a long steady day. Almost all of the climbing is in the first half, so ideally that’s where you work and then find a decent bunch to share the work with on the flat second half.
With that in mind I’d recommend lots of sweetspot to get your base solid. Start with 2/3 x 15’, gradually increasing interval length and duration until you’re happy tapping out 4/5 x 30’ with short rests. Don’t forget to sprinkle in some vo2 work to keep the top end ticking too.

Hey folks,
I’ve never done any structured training but I’m signed up for Mallorca 312 next year and I want to start a training plan with something like training peaks or Garmin.
I have just received my first ever power meter, a Stages on Hollowgram crank and I have a Garmin Edge 530.
I’m typically out 3 times a week; Tuesday and Thursday mornings 6-9am and sat or sun 6-11am.
These times are carved out of my family time and work time and I’m reluctant to change the times if I can help it.
Can I feed this info in to training peaks / Garmin and it work with my schedule?
Any tips on what plans and how to program them would be greatly appreciated.
