The 45-minute workout this week will be focused on short, high intensity intervals.  The main set begins with four 1-minute Anaerobic Capacity intervals.  These will be hard.  You will rarely tap into this type of effort during a group ride or a longer race, however, it is beneficial to work on improving all aspects of your Power Curve (sustainable efforts for any duration - i.e. 5-second maximum effort or best average power for 1 hour).  Following the 1-minute intervals will be two 4-minute VO2 Max efforts.

​

This workout can be done outside, but please be aware of your surroundings during those hard efforts.
