Now that we've reached the unofficial start of summer, these workouts will be shorter, and will act to supplement any outdoor riding you may be doing.  As we continue to train without any events on the horizon, all we are doing now is maintaining our current fitness.  There is no need to do a lot of intensity, one workout a week of intensity should be enough.  If you do any other rides this week, make sure they are only endurance (50%-74% of FTP) or tempo (75%-89%) efforts for the majority of the workout (short bursts are ok).

​

Workout files are available for download.  Click on the button at the bottom of the workout description to take you to the download page.  Files are available in the following formats:

​

  • .mrc (ERG mode.  Intervals are based upon power and percentage of FTP)

​​

  • .tng (Time and Grade.  Intervals are setup as timed "hills".  Use your gears to hit the target intensity)

​​

  • .fit (Gamin workout file)

    • There are two files, both of the same workout

      • One created in TrainingPeaks - "2020 Summer - 45-min - Week 1.fit" with intervals based upon % of FTP  

      • The other file created in Garmin Connect - "20 Sum Wk1 45min.fit" with intervals based upon power zones
