Week 11 of the 12-week Power Session.

​

Spring is officially here, and so too is the wind.  If you do these workouts outside, you will likely have to turn into the wind at some point during an interval.  When that happens, you will need to shift to maintain the effort, but make sure to shift into a gear that allows you to maintain your cadence.  Try not to have a drastic change in your RPM's.  Higher cadences utilize your aerobic capacity, while lower cadences require more muscular strength.  Both have benefits, but a constant cadence for each interval will allow you to get the most out of the workout.

​

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.
