Week 6 of the 12-week Power Session.

​

As we optimistically look forward to the return of events this year, remember that the ultimate goal of your training is to be ready when your event arrives.  Not everyone's goals align on the calendar, so make sure you plan ahead to know when to dial up your training so that you peak at just the right time.  Consistent training will help you improve, but make sure it fits with your plan.  Try not to burn out now if your event isn't until late in the year, but also don't hold back if you're looking forward to the beginning of the summer.  Whenever your event, you can use these workouts (either now, or later) to help you achieve whatever goals you have on the bike this year.

​

The three workouts included are:

​

• THRESHOLD (SHORT) - Approximately 1-hour.  This will include Sweet Spot (sub-threshold), Threshold, and eventually, some VO2 Max intervals.

• THRESHOLD (LONG) - Approximately 90-minutes.  Starting with long tempo, and building up to sustained Sweet Spot and Threshold intervals.

• ENDURANCE - 2-hour workout with some sub-threshold work included with longer, lower-intensity intervals.
