This week's 45-minute workout will focus more on effort than power. There are six 30-second intervals that are meant to be All Out. Don't look at the power meter, just go. Give it everything you have, and then recover for 4:30. Due to the high intensity of these intervals, the warmup has been lengthened to 15 minutes.
Once again, we're tapping into efforts that you would rarely see in a race, but this type of interval will help improve your power and your aerobic fitness.
These intervals can be done on a short hill. Just make sure you pick a hill that isn't too steep that it forces you to slow down your cadence.
