Week 9 of the 12-week Power Session.

​

We're continuing to build up the duration of these intervals at higher intensities.  For some of you, this will prepare you for upcoming races, including the first time trial of the year.  For others, this will help you get stronger for those early season outdoor rides where there's seemingly a headwind no matter which way you go.  The work may seem challenging, but it makes those races, events, and rides much more enjoyable when you're stronger on the bike.

​

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.  Sustained Sweet Spot and Threshold intervals.

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