Indoor Cycling Workout 003 - 4 Stars - Fruit Bowl Ergo - PDF Download

Written by Site Admin

Something for everyone. Ideal for developing all aspects of your cycling. These intervals get shorter as you progress through this workout. As you do so it is important to increase the effort intensity by increasing your speed on the trainer as you progress through these intervals. You don’t have a lot of recovery between efforts so they develop good LAT tolerance while dumping great VO2MAX power into the pedals.

The last two x one minute efforts can be sprinted in the last 15 seconds of each of them to simulate a road race with the lead out and then sprint. For time trial and hill climbing training these last two x one minute efforts can be done at a steady state pace.
