Another two workouts to supplement your outdoor rides.  This week, the 45-minute workout incorporates Anaerobic Capacity intervals.  These are hard efforts that are at the high end of your power curve (just below a sprint).  While we might rarely tap into this type of power in most of our events or races, it is still important to train all power zones to become an overall stronger cyclist.

​

If you do the 45-minute workout outside, even though the intervals are relatively short (1-3 minutes), make sure you are on a safe stretch of road without any intersections.  Also, remember to maintain your form, and try not to swerve as you become fatigued.
